Stops working within minutes

I ordered this item two days ago and received it yesterday afternoon. I plugged it into my laptop and the blue light on the adapter started blinking. I went into the bluetooth settings on the laptop and turned on my new bluetooth headphones which were purchased and delivered at the same time as the adapter through Revain, they would not connect. I looked at the adapter again and the light was no longer on. Within hours I downloaded and installed adapter drivers (which should have been enabled but weren't), installed and uninstalled the device, started and restarted Bluetooth services on my laptop, and more. Troubleshooting in vain. Not only is the adapter still not working, my other Bluetooth devices are also not connecting to my laptop. I would like a refund for this purchase.

Pros
  • Nano-sized USB 2.0 Bluetooth 5.0 + EDR Adapter, the smallest BT 5.0 USB adapter on Amazon. (One chip combines BT baseband, modem and BT RF in a tiny package and still offers full performance)
Cons
  • Long delivery time
