Q: Bluetooth randomly stopped working?
Hi all, I have a mid-2014 Retina MacBook Pro. Today, my bluetooth just quit working. I cannot connect any device to my Mac using bluetooth. Every time I try, the device will connect but will then disconnect after ~20 seconds. I have tried the following:
-reset SMC and PRAM
-cycle bluetooth on and off
-reset the bluetooth module
-remove all bluetooth devices
-delete bluetooth plist files
-turn off "handoff" in system preferences
-turn bluetooth devices on and off
-update OS
-restart computer
None of these things have helped the situation - it remains exactly the same. I ran Apple Diagnostics and no bluetooth hardware issues were reported. I'm completely out of ideas but I need this fixed. I just don't understand how it can be working perfectly fine one day and then just stop.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
