Does my Acer Aspire 5633WLMi Have Bluetooth capability?
Last post:: Under device manager if BT is installed it will show up under Bluetooth NOT Network Devices. The one under Network Devices is software. The one under BT is the actual device..Good Luck |

Or if you really want to have Bluetooth, go to the local Best Buy and buy yourself a "dongle" which plugs into a USB port and comes with software..Be advised though that your using device must me BT capable..Some cellphones are..some are not..Your device must have the module inside its software.. Your "dongle" software is sure to have dial-up-networking. Then in order to have BT find your device, your device must be in the "discover" mode which allows others to see your device..You will have to have passcodes which are usually 000. I use mine for "dial-up-networking" with my VZW cellphone at about 100 kb/sec. download. Example: I go into Starbucks and put my phone in the discover mode via BT and all the phones and devices with BT show up on my phone..Also Target, Walmart, etc. If you see it in device manager, it should be in the computer..The softtware also needs to be there AND installed. Luck That's a very helpful and much appreciated reply. I will contact Acer Europe in the hope that any built-in Bluetooth capability can be utilised. I'm quite prepared to buy a dongle if necessary. Thanks a lot, Jayne |

The one under BT is the actual device..Good Luck Dudley, I appreciate the trouble you've taken to explain this. In my Device Manager, indented under the initial Computer icon, "Bluetooth Devices"is shown as the second icon down, directly under the Batteries icon. This Icon can be clicked on and opened to show a further indented icon "Bluetooth Bus Enumerator" Right-clicking on this and then opening the "Driver" tab shows all the usual buttons, except that the "Uninstall" one is grayed out. All other info in there is positive, i.e. "The device is working properly." I have one question on this that I do hope you wouldn't mind helping me with: Do the details given above definitely mean that there is Bluetooth hardware in the notebook, or could the Bluetooth icons and the associated information in Device Manager be there merely because the Bluetooth driver software has been mistakenly installed. Regards, Jayne |

Your 5633 may have BT, but a special case of BT.
Acer uses BT for connecting VOIP, some remotes, and other functions on some computers. You could go to Start,Connections, Show all Connections, and see if that shows anything. These special cases cannot be used as regular BT. You could take your laptop to Best Buy, Circuit City, and to whatever is left of Compusa techs..They all service Acer and should be able to come up with a definite answer. I researched US and Europe sites. Some show BT others don't. Your Acer will have four letters at the end which change it somewhat..Good Luck!! |
