Keyboard not working, cant turn on Bluetooth. (V3-571-6643)

Hi,
I have a Acer V3-571-6643 Laptop.
The built in Keyboard is not working. (Spilt alcohol on it)

I intend to fix it but not right now.

Problem is I have a bluetooth keyboard that i want to use with it but in order to turn the bluetooth on, on the laptop, you have to use the built in Keyboard.

Is there some other way to turn on bluetooth without the internal keyboard?

In tile mode, move your mouse to the top right side of the display.

Click Settings.

Click Change PC Settings.

Click Network.

Click Airplane mode.

Toggle Bluetooth on.

Hi,

I tried but bluetooth is not listed there at all.

Normally u pressing FN+F3 turns it on and off.

It is currently off so the adapter itself is off?

I cant find anyway to turn it back on.

plazaman91,

 

If you followed the steps I posted and Bluetooth is not listed there might be a hardware problem from liquid being spilled on it. The liquid could have gotten past the keyboard onto the parts below and is causing issues.

Hi,

Nothing is wrong with the bluetooth itself.

Problem is i cant open launch manager without the built in keyboard to turn on the bluetooth.

Is there anyway to force it on?

These steps are how to manually toggle Bluetooth on and off, I went and did the steps on a V3-571 we have here. 

1. In tile mode, move your mouse to the top right side of the display.
2. Click Settings.
3. Click Change PC Settings.
4. Click Network.
5. Click Airplane mode.
6. Toggle Bluetooth on.
