Default Acer TravelMate 7520 - BlueTooth

Hi All,
Daughter has TM7520, at the front it has Wireless and Bluetooth buttons.
Wireless works fine but when you try to use bluetooth " No Bluetooth Device Found Message " comes up
Any help most appreciated
Many Thanks
Taz

not too sure if you are saying it can't find the blue tooth device associated with the laptop or it can't find any local devices that are blue tooth compatible (like a mobile phone)
If it is the laptop it is more than likely it needs drivers installing
if its a local mobile device the bluetooth option needs to be enabled

Hi,
Thanks for reply.
As I said there are a few small slide type buttons at front of laptop..
If I use the wireless button it switches the wireless off and on etc
but if I use the bluetooth button all I get is a message on the screen saying " No Bluetooth Devices Found "
I asume this meens the laptop does not have BlueTooth card / device installed etc.
I checked device manager and found no trace of a BlueTooth device.
Cant understand why there would be a button to turn it off and on if its not installed ????

not sure but it probably has a combined wifi and bluetooth card where the bluetooth adaptor plugs into the card as opposed to going into a USB hub
