    I have the aspire 5740G. I use an external BT keyboard. When I shut down or restart, bluetooth is always switched off (indication light is not illuminated). I can not log on with my BT keyboard.
    Once I am logged on (using Aspire keyboard), I have to manually push the bluetooth button (or Fn + F3) and everything works. I have turned the power-saving feature off, with no effect. Any ideas?

    Look at options available in Launch Manager. It used to be an option like this for BT and WiFi.

    I looked at Launch Manager, it's a program which allows you to launch a program when pushing the big "P" button. I'm needing the BT adapter to be turned on when the computer is turned on. How about REGEDIT?

    Well my version of Launch Manager has "device boot status" for both WiFi and BT, that's why I recommended you check there.

    Same problem here
    My version of Launch Manager has no "device boot status" for both WiFi and BT.

    Reinstalled Launch Manager on my 7740G.
    Was no fix, Launch Manager still has no "device boot status". :mad:

    Any solutions found? fissm ? :confused:
