I'm not the most computer savvy person. But I was wondering how you turn on or activate the Bluetooth button on my Acer Aspire 9500 series. I've heard it may not have it because it says "no Bluetooth device" when pushed and that the button is just on there for factory reasons on all. If anyone...

All the visible indications would lead me to ask "How do I get the Bluetooth to work?". But after doing a search of this newsgroup I now see that I really need to ask."Does my notebook contain bluetooth hardware?" Because if it doesn't I might be a long time in trying to get it...

My Aspire notebook has a 5 in 1 card reader which is described as reading several types of "Memory Stick" and other cards. My phone has a "Memory Stick Duo" card which has a compatible symbol (flying saucer?) on it. Will the card reader read this card? If so, how do I insert and eject it? When I...
