    Welcome to the forums :)

    You should have put this in the acer forum, but I will answer here. The issue with the no bluetooth device is a common question on the acer forum. Alot of users ask when I push the bluetooth switch how come it says "no bluetooth device". The answer is that acer's notebook chassis for any particular series is uniform that means that the bluetooth switch is on the chassis even if the optional component isn't installed, why they do this I don't know. Anyway the link given by the previous post will allow you to get the module you want. However installing it will require you to open up your notebook and have a good idea of what you are doing.
