Bluetooth not working on Acer laptop

Post by REIS0 »

Hello, i have one Acer Aspire E5-573G and have used it with windows for some years, now that i have switched to linux few months ago the bluetooth stopped working, my chip is one QCA9565, tried other distros like deepin, kde plasma, etc.
Tried some solutions and nothing worked, anyone has any clue what it can be?
OBS: i'll try to post as many information as possible of my hardware.

All I can tell you is that the device doesn't show up in the lsusb results and that is why it doesn't work. Your BIOS might have an enable/disable bluetooth setting or you might try resetting BIOS to defaults

Go into UEFI/BIOS settings and disable Secure Boot and see if it works then. Something strange is going on as it does find the bluetooth chip

I have no idea why it didn't show in lsusb

The main problem is if i disable the secure boot the system shows "No bootable device" and i have to enable to configure the UEFI files from the system.
