    Sorry to sound so dumb, but can someone confirm for me that this laptop is bluetooth enabled. I have been trying all night to connect my nokia phone to my laptop via bluetooth with no joy. I have windows vista 32 bit

    I don't have this laptop model but all the Aspire 5633 I find on Internet does NOT have bluetooth. What is the exact model of your laptop? 5633-what?

    I just asked a very similar question about the drivers for my laptop. As I was told which makes plenty of sense now, is that just because your computer has a bluetooth button does not mean that you actually have bluetooth installed on your system. Hope that helps.

    "No Bluetooth Device" means your laptop does not have an internal bluetooth chip. simply put, it does not have bluetooth.

    you could get a small usb bluetooth chip, they work pretty good, or you can put an internal bluetooth module in your laptop

    here is one on ebay that would fit

    i would NOT recommend it unless you are very comfortable taking apart your laptop, and this would void any standing warranty you have.

    hope this helps
