Both bluetooth and wifi have suddenly disappeared on my desktop, I've tried lots of recommendations' for hours on end all to no avail (I'm not the most technical guy).

Anyone have a miracle answer? Thanks,

    Go to the Aspire XC-703 Support page download either the Atheros or Realtek Bluetooth and WLAN drivers and reinstall them completely and then reboot the desktop, as this should reinstall and make your Wi-Fi/BT card appear and work. This happens sometimes when Wi-Fi/BT drives are not updated and they become corrupted or at worst cases if your Wi-Fi/BT card is faulty. Try the reinstall method as that should work, if it doesn't then your Wi-Fi/BT card is faulty and you need to change it. good luck.

    After downloading, Please note that Atheros file is a zip file. Open the zip file and extract the main folder to desktop or any other location then open this extracted folder and there will be Install_CD folder inside it.
    Open this folder and double click on the file called setup.exe. This will begin the install.
