Hi,

I seem to be having a problem with the bluetooth connectivity on my laptop
(unsure which Acer of the 1520 series it is right now). Basically, when I
press the bluetooth connection button (next to the wireless LAN one) just
above the keyboard, a green message flags up saying "No Device". I have
Windows XP Service Pack 2 installed and a motorola V3 phone, the bluetooth
software of which I have installed.

I am sure to look silly as I expect there is a really obvious answer to
this, but i'm afraid that I cannot see the wood for the trees right now!

Many thanks

Some laptops use the same "slot" for wifi or bluetooth. Are you sure you
have a bluetooth device? Does the device show up in the device manager?

The laptop has WiFi built in which I activate with a button on the keyboard
and that works very well. The bluetooth has a button too, but when I press
that one it says "no device" which could mean it's not detecting the phone,
or there is no bluetooth built in.

I do not know what the WiFi device would show as so what would I look for in
the bluetooth one?
