I have been using a "Logitech Mobile Bluetooth Headset" on my Mac PB G4 for a while now, first with various 10.3.X versions of Mac OS X, now with 10.4.2, mainly with SKYPE All of the sudden, the headset started to behave very strangely. It does no longer appear in the SKYPE "preferences>audio" pane, nor it does in the "system preferences>sound" pane. When I switch it on, it connects with the mac (as seen on the "system preferences>bluetooth>devices" pane), but: i) it disconnects ~1 min after, and ii) even while it stays connected it does not show in the audio/sound panes, as descrobed above. Do you think it is hardware failure, or may it be that the bluetooth configuration on the mac has gone bananas? many thanks for your advice!

Sounds like a bad capacitor or something like that from the fact that it will last a minute or so before it shuts down. See if you can get it to work on another machine.
