Seen this problem before. Did you by chance uninstall the program "Launch Manager"?

Even if you didn't I would say to try and reinstall it. Here is a link to the application from the Acer website.

If that doesnt work I would suggest simply recovering Windows and bringing the unit back to factory defaults. Doing this will eliminate any software issues, and if the problem persists it's likely the button itself is the issue. But to be perfectly honest I would assume launch manager is the culprit.

Try out the link I sent you and if it doesn't work let me know and I can walk you through a recovery.

On your unit is that the wireless button? If it is can you please reply with your model number, puchase date, windows version. Anything else you can think of. Thanks.

Ok guys, pretty sure I have it. Acer uses a program called launch manager to manage FN keys. here's a link from the Acer site: Launch Manager

Download this and install it. There's a chance this won't work for you jjw258, but if it doesn't work for either of you please let me know.

jjw258,

Was your bluetooth ever working? According to what I've found your system doesn't have a bluetooth adapter.

according to the sticker on the bottom of the computer it says this device contains a WLAN module is that diiferent than a bluetooth adapter? I'm not sure what that means, But I know in the past I have been able to connect my cell phone with my computer with out a cable. Is it possible that the module has been diabled and if so how do I enable it.

I have an Acer Aspire 3750. Recently, I have a problem with my keyboard and it is not fuctioning.

I am thus using USB keyboard presently.

I have an external speaker with is previously connected via Bluetooth which I can activate by using the Fn+F3 button but since my keyboard is not working, how can I activate my Bluetooth?

Thanks for your help.

I am having a similar issues to the guys above.

My function keys including Fn, Esc and Num Lock are not working.

I have tried everything I could think of to get them to work again and it is driving me insane as they worked fine before.

I have an Acer Apire E1-571 with SNID: 24117113516, with a Windows 8.1, 64-bit.

Initially, when I updated to W8.1 the wireless connection to my rooter stopped working, somehow I maanged to fix that with an update on the Acer website, not sure which one. In the process I replaced my Launch Manager as well and since then everything has gone awol. My wifi works but now I have a big chunk of keys that do nothing... I have tried re-installing the Launch Manager but no luck, it didnt work.

I had a Samsung before buying this and so far this Acer has been a nightmare, everytime Windows or any other software provider add an update, something stops working and it is driving me insane.

Can some godly man be kind enough to help me, please?

Thanks in advance,

Everest
