Can't enable Bluetooth for Acer Aspire 5630-6803

Hey Fellas, new member.
I've recently purchased an Acer Aspire 5630-6803.
Now this laptop comes with with bluetooth, at least i think it does... it has a little on-off switch for the Bluetooth (bluetooth icon) right next to the wireless switch. I have tried turning it on but the light doesn come on; I have read on another post that if you power on the wireless card the Bluetooth should automatically come on (provided there is another bluetooth device within range), I have tested it with my bluetooth cell and mouse, but my devices nor the Laptop are detected, I've checked device manager and i do not see any bluetooth entries/devices. The funny thing is that the Bluetooth icon DOES appear on the Notification area (next to the time/clock).

Anybody having same issue?
Solution?

Thanks

 

Check the box specs or the site/place where you bought it from, it should say if you have BT or not.

Though, a quick Google says it does - have you tried reinstalling the BT drivers?

 

Hi, just found that info on another site... will try it as soon as I get home. Thanks for the info.

 

Hi Gunther,

Can you please post that information too? Thanks...

 

Hey Wetnose, i meant to say that i did found the same info on some other laptop review site, basically it stated that this particular model (5630 6803)did come with Bluetooth; I was unable to find the particular site.
As recommended, i did install the BT drivers, but that did not work, I also tried a BIOS update, and a complete PC reload, same thing. no BT yet. I might take it back. dont want to call ACER again, was waiting for a looong time, got tired and hung up.
besides that, i dont know what else to do.

 

Make sure to post the results if anyone get its working

 

I too bought a Aspire 5630-6040 which seems to have bluetooth it but it never worked. It seem we will have to buy it as an option. Does anybody knows how to install one. I got one from another Acer but not sure where to start to see if it can work.

 

Hi Guys, here is some information on the Aspire5630 Bluetooth issue. Follow this link to acer support site. http://www2.nohold.net/noHoldCust523/Prod_2/Articles64008/78Bluetooth.htm apparently some models come with and some without. There should be a white label under the notebook which says Bluetooth if it comes with it.
