Hey again. I'm really glad to receive helps from you guys here and now I need another favor. I bought my laptop (Acer Aspire 4752Z) about 6 months ago and it have bluetooth built it. However, some problems occurred to my laptop and it was reformat. Now, I can't find any icon on my laptop to turn on my bluetooth. I tried to locate using my phones and nothing happened. Please help me. What happened to my bluetooth built it ?

Hello NavigatorX

Since the format have you reinstalled the Launch Manager http://support.acer....px?modelId=3941 once the device is installed pressing the Fn + F3 keys should be the hot-keys.

Before you reinstall the software have you tried pressing the Fn and the F3 keys down, Press and hold Fn and then F3, let us know the outcome.

Sorry for the delay!

Couple of questions if I may;

You said in your OP;

Now, I can't find any icon on my laptop to turn on my bluetooth

But in your reply #3;

There's a Bluetooth Devices icon on my laptop but when I clicked on it, nothing happens

Can you please clarify, have you since done something that has placed a Bluetooth icon on your desktop.
Have you checked that the Bluetooth is enabled in the Device Manager and the BIOS.

Yes, I actually restart my laptop and search again in start menu and found it. It wasn't there before I restart my laptop. I've checked it and yes, it's enabled but none of other devices can find my laptop. Even right click will not work on the Bluetooth Devices icon.
