Wiimote will no longer sync

[dkf295]

Hey all, about 3 months ago my wiimotes suddenly would not sync anymore, with multiple Dolphin revisions (7546, 7481,7341,7251,3207) tested. Normally, I'd simply tap 1 and 2 on the wiimotes every second or so while hitting pair up, they'd either pair up on their own or after I got the drivers successfully installed message I'd hit refresh and they'd sync. Now, I get the "Drivers Successfully Installed" message but the wiimotes will not sync. This is with the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack (Win7 x64 Professional), I tried reinstalling my bluetooth dongle's drivers (USB dongle), no luck. Tried installing Toshiba Bluetooth Stack, as expected that didn't work so I uninstalled it, took another shot with the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack but no go. All I get in Devices and Printers is a Bluetooth Peripheral Device.

So, where to go from here? I had zero issues for months apart from desync issues with newer revisions of Dolphin with Metroid Prime 3, then all of a sudden one day I simply couldn't sync at all. No software was installed/uninstalled, nor were any Windows updates applied within a week of the problems starting.

Thanks in advance for any help rendered.

Thought I'd bump this since it's been a couple days, I realize this isn't an easy one and I'm all for poking around myself, but short of completely reinstalling Win7 (big, intrusive undertaking) I'm not sure what direction to head in from here. Any thoughts/suggestions/anything?

Bump... Any advice or direction would be appreciated.

Just in case anybody cared, hard drive wipe + reinstall of Windows fixed this. It was nothing related to any Dolphin config files/etc as I simply backed up my Dolphin folder and dumped it back on my hard drive post-reinstall. Thread can be closed.
