    Hi @yousefafisa unfortunately, the equipment is now discontinued:

    Product Support - TravelMate 5740 | Acer United States

    What operating system are you running? Windows 10 and Windows 11 should install a generic driver.
    If it doesn't install, you should look for an application that searches for drivers online, but be very careful and scan the file with your antivirus before installing it.

    Go to HelpDrivers TravelMate 5740, as they have available 80 files for Acer TravelMate 5740 laptop which are the exact Acer drivers for the Atheros Bluetooth card that this laptop has. Good luck and hope this helps you out further to solve this problem, otherwise look at this Unofficial Qualcomm Atheros drivers site for further drivers to help you out.

    Cards fitted and listed in the Acer service guide for the TravelMate 5740

    Yes, the driver needed is different depending on which WLAN card Acer installed on your unit. They released the Travelmate 5740 in 2011 IIRC, with Windows 7 installed, so it's not a surprise that Acer no longer has drivers online.

    To find the Bluetooth driver for an Acer TravelMate 5740, you can visit the Acer support website and search for the specific model. You'll need to specify your operating system (Windows 10, 8.1, 7, etc.) to ensure you download the correct driver. Alternatively, you can use a driver update tool like Driver Scape to automatically detect and install the necessary Bluetooth driver.
    Here's a more detailed breakdown:

    1. Locate the Acer Support Website:
      Go to the Acer support website.
      You may need to select your country/region to access the correct support portal.
    2. Search for the TravelMate 5740:
      Use the search bar or navigation menu to find the "Drivers and Manuals" section.
      Enter "TravelMate 5740" or the exact model number (e.g., TravelMate 5740G) in the search box.
    3. Choose Your Operating System:
      Select your operating system (Windows 10, 8.1, 7, etc.) from the dropdown menu or options provided.
      The driver download page will then list available drivers for your specific operating system.
    4. Download the Bluetooth Driver:
      Find the "Bluetooth" driver in the list of available drivers.
      Download the driver file (usually a .exe or .zip file).
    5. Install the Driver:
      Run the downloaded driver file.
      Follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver.
      You may need to agree to the End User License Agreement (EULA).
      Restart your computer if prompted.
      Alternative: Using a Driver Update Tool:
      Download and install a driver update tool like Driver Scape.
      The tool will scan your computer for outdated or missing drivers.
