How to post a message on a arc xt pro forum Bluetooth#

The only thing I cannot do is enter the correct PIN to pair the laptop with a bluetooth device that does not use a '0000' PIN because the Microsoft Bluetooth stack is apparently either missing the capability to input that value, or the dialog to request The microphone still works, and I can still use the headset with the dongle My laptop is a Toshiba A505-S6033, using a Broadcom Bluetooth dongle.В The dongle works fine: I had an older headset paired to it until a few weeks ago when the headset's speaker died. I've previously pairedДЄ headset with a non '0000' PIN to my car, which has a voice menu to allow me to set the correct PIN, but I could not pair the same headset to this same laptop. My laptop is pretty much the only place I intend to use it, and I've had this same problem with other bluetooth devices that I could successfully pair to other machines. I have not tried pairing the device to anything else as yet.

Windows tries for several seconds (up to 30) and then fails to connect, having never prompted me to enter a PIN. Tries to send the default value of '0000' when it needs to send '1111'. What I cannot do is enter the PIN because Windows never asks me to do so. I can attempt to connect toВ the deviceВ from Windows. I've also put my PC's bluetooth in discoverable modeВ 'just in case'. Windows can see the device, so it is discoverable. After more than a decade of such devices being on the market, one would think that a simple text field for entering the correct PIN during pairing would exist by now.Д¬ould someone please shed some light on what arcane ritual is required to send the correct PIN from the PC? Do I have to manipulate some thoroughly buried registry entry somewhere? There's no interface forД®ntering a PIN on it at all, because the PIN needs to be entered on the phone/PC. I triedВ consulting the extremely outdated troubleshootingВ manual,Д«ut it suggests enteringВ the PIN 'displayed on the PC' into the device and that it 'may sometimes be difficult to do so if the device does not have a display.' No kidding.В My headset hasВ 3 buttons: on/off, volume up, and volume down. The headset itself has a voice guide that announces that the PIN is '1111', which needs to be entered on the phone/PC side of the pairing. I tried to pair this new headset, but Windows couldn't connect to it. But some devices require different PINs, such as '1111' for a headset I just bought. Windows transmits a default PIN of '0000', which works fine for devices that use that PIN. That is to say that there seems to be no way to enter a PIN on the PC, as if Windows always expects any required PIN to be entered on Bluetooth has been around for quite a while now, and yet Windows doesn't seem to fully implement the pairing interface.
