Spent 45 minutes troubleshooting earbuds that were just in pairing mode
Got a new pair of wireless earbuds Tuesday night and couldn't get them to connect to my laptop. Tried every trick I knew, restarting Bluetooth, deleting drivers, even rebooting the router for some reason. After 45 minutes I noticed the little LED was blinking blue the whole time, which means they were still in pairing mode. I had to hold the button for 8 seconds to actually activate pairing with the laptop. Felt like a complete idiot, but the sound quality on these is actually solid once they work. Anyone else ever spend way too long on something this dumb with their gear?
