Bluesmirf not detected

I have used the bluesmirf gold successfully with the SSC-32. However, when I switched from Gold to Silver, the pc no longer could detect the bluetooth signal. The red light on the silver is on(not flashing), the green light is off. For anyone that’ve used the Silver before, is the red light suppose to not flash for the silver when it is not connected to a device?

My silver is new, so I presume it to be working. Are there any ways to trouble shoot this?

THanks
