Bluetooth can't detect the wii-remote

[zuker]

Hello, as the title says, I have a new wii remote (pretty sure it is an original one, as "nintendo" is written on sevral spots on it) and my computer can't seem to find it in the bluetooth recognizing thing.
i am using a PC with windows 7, and a little usb bluetooth thing.

Stuff i have tried:
- installed the toshiba bluetooth stack
- battaries are new
- i can see other bluetooth devices in my computer (phones and such....)
- presses the 1 and 2 buttons continuesly
- pressed the little red button where the batteries are at

the 4 blue lights are flashing for a while in all my tries then nothing

the box of the controller says "RVL-A-WRWA". and i can't remember the name of the bluetooth usb because i threw away the box not knowing it might matter someday.
also the controller does work with the wii, so i really have no idea what to do.
(i saw a thread(https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-wiimote-won-t-show-anywhere?page=3&highlight=wrwa) which had pretty much the same problem for the guy that opened it but he didn't solve it or at least didn't mention a solution there)

help please :-)

I'm going to assume it is third party, and therefore is unlikely to work

no it is not(or at least it doesn't look like it), if you like i can take a picture of it and you can decide for yourself. but even so if you have any ideas of i can get it to be recived as a bluetooth device i can still use them as i am not having trouble at identyfing it with dolphin or anything, rather it just seems i can't get it to connect to the computer.

Then the problem probably comes from your BT adapter

Then what is this?

hmm yes that does look misleading now that i see it like that, the box says Wii on it's sides and nintendo logo on sevral places on the box.
the code i mentioned and that you quated is what i think this type of controller is(and it is written in very small charcters on the box at the corner of each side), and i mentioned it because from my searches on getting it to work i saw there were several nintendo controllers and i thought it might be relevant.
just so you be a bit more sure it is original, the controller itself has the nintendo logo on the thing that covers the battaries, and the logo is also just above the red sync button. and below the 1 2 buttons is says "Wii" and then "Wii MotionPlus INSIDE" in a partiel circle.

i'll get a new bluetooth USB but i don't think it is the problem because i can connect other bluetooth devices with it, but it really can't hurt also it is really cheap so i see no reason not to.

also thanks for the quick replies
