    I see the Bluetooth button on the front of my laptop, but get the "no device" message when the button is pressed. I'm assuming that there is no Bluetooth installed. Is there any way to get the Bluetooth module and install it??

    Hi Joe, I have an Acer 2003WLMi and I have the same problem. I've installed all the s/w that came with the machine but to no avail. I'm thinking that Acer have ripped us off. I read a review somewhere that although it looks like they included it in the build spec they actually never put it in. Mines a UK model release. Please let me know if you have any joy

    cheers

    I got a response back from Acer tech support regarding this issue:

    ::::::::::::::::::::
    Thank you for contacting Acer America. Although there is a button on the
    notebook for Bluetooth, the TM 2300 models that ship in the US and Canada
    does not ship with a Bluetooth module on the motherboard. Therefore it does
    not support Bluetooth as it ships. In order to get Bluetooth, you will need
    to purchase a third party device such as a USB to Bluetooth transceiver, or
    other external device that provides Bluetooth capabilities. These type of
    devices are available at most computer shops that sell options and
    accessories for notebook products.

    Respectfully,
    Mary Boggs

    ::::::::::::::::::::

    So I guess we're out of luck as far as Bluetooth goes [ :(]
