Bluetooth for Laptop?

SoAdCrAzY · 30 May 2011 at 19:10

Hi, not sure where to post this.

I have an Acer Aspire 5920 laptop that has Bluetooth. However, I've installed Windows 7 on it and now the button does not work.

Is there any software that I can use for this?

Thanks,
Matt Wilde

Have you been to the manufacturers website and installed the relevant drivers and utilities?

Ah, I've just got the Windows 7 Professional 32bit drivers and installed them. However, it said it could not find a Bluetooth device.

You need to install Launch Manager for the buttons, it's under application in their driver section.

Thanks, I've just done this and everything apart from the Bluetooth is working.

If I push the Bluetooth button a message appears saying "Bluetooth Disabled". I cannot enable it.

I have installed the Bluetooth drivers after installing the application yet it still will not work. The .exe file in the root folder says that it cannot find the Bluetooth device. I also tried the .exe in the 32bit folder and that installed correctly but it still doesn't work.

Thanks,
Matt Wilde

Is the blue tooth enabled in the BIOS? Just in case it reset.

Sorry, I just looked in the BIOS (F2 on startup) and couldn't find a setting for it.

Thanks,

have you ever used the bluetooth on the laptop?
i say this because my 8930g has the bluetooth button but my version didn't come with the bluetooth module fitted

Maybe it doesn't. I hadn't used it before and nowhere on it does it mention Bluetooth.

No worries then.

Thanks,

I assumed by the beginning that it had already worked . . . .

Ah right, I thought it did but I never had any reason to use it until now.
