forcing bluetooth connections
so, i have a little sony bt speaker. it's not that old, but it only connects to my ipad, not my phone or my laptop. they just cant see it.
any thoughts?

usually hooks up to the pad just by turning it on, but put it in pairing mode, and nada.

it's working, but flaky. sitting in some rice rn. but may be hopeless.
