I've been using a PS3 Bluetooth remote (model: CECHZR1E) on my Sony Vaio SVE1512E6EW which has atheros qualcomm bluetooth AR3012 built in.

All my drivers are up to date, but yesterday my remote stopped working.

It now shows up as "offline".

My other bluetooth device (Canon X-Mark mouse) is working like a charm.

Obviously I've tried replacing the batteries, but no change.

I've also tried removing / re-adding the device, but this was not so simple:
First off, the pairing mode doesn't last long enough for windows to connect unless i keep pressing buttons repeatedly. I was then able to reconnect the device, but it went numb almost instantly after.

When I try to remove the device it just says "failed to remove device"

The remote itself is hardly 3 months old and I've been using it without any problem since then. I haven't dropped it or anything either.

Any help / guidance would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance! ]]> Windows 8 Hardware Kaleido http://windows8forums.com/windows-8-hardware/20976-issues-bluetooth-ps3-bd-remote.html
