    So I get my Acer Aspire 5672WLMi which in my opinion is cool and I'm proud of it. I even fed it my Memory Stick Pro Duo [which it liked a lot and it decided to stay in the slot :(]. I'm not worried about that that much. I can always unscrew it and hope to remove the card. But right now I try to connect the Bluetooth to my phone[A Sony Ericsson S710a, also known as S700i in some places]. My phone detects my Acer Aspire [which I crowned it Fobio,for no apparent reason] but it asks for a passcode. I tried 0000 and 000000 but it was no use. Any one know of the passcode so that I can connect my phone to the notebook?

    the four zeros should work as the passcode unless there is a different passcode on your phone already

    So is the passcode relevant to the phone or the laptop? When I click on "My Bluetooth Places" it says "Bluetooth device not found. Please verify that your Bluetooth device is properly connected and turned on". Anybody know what's going on? I've switched on the Bluetooth function by going to the ePower Management and turning it on. Alternatively I've also slided the Bluetooth switch that is present on the front panel

    try pairing the phone from the computer. There are instructions on the internet you can find on how to do this if you fail to figure it out yourself. You enter the same keycode from both devices, doesn't matter what it is.
