Hey all, im new here so im not sure where im supposed to be asking about this but here goes.

I recently bought the acer aspire v5-571-53314G50Makk and wanted to connect to the bluetooth. I searched and searched but cannot find any buttons or anything to turn it on and when I try to load the bluetooth suite software it does nothing. I tied reinstalling the drive+rs - no dice. I heave been reading a few forums now and most people seem to think there should be something in the controll pannel but I can find that either. From what I can gather its built into the atheros wifi device (which is working fine as far as I can tell) but no matter what I try I cannot get it to work.

Any Help would be greaty appreciated guys!

Many Thanks!!

Are you using Windows 7 or Windows 8? Try pressing FN+F3 to turn your wireless/bluetooth on.

What Clyde said. Hold FN then press F3. You can use it to cycle through BLUETOOTH/WIFI on/off.
