Hi people can any1 help,

My laptop (acer 2491lci) Has a Bluetooth switch on the front. But when i switch it on i just get 'No bluetooth device found' Yet my mobile phones bluetooth is turned on next to it and find me is turned on. I know my phone bluetooth works 'cos i use it with my pcs bluetooth dongle.

I went into control panel and tried turning bluetooth discovery on, But this is all i get (see piccy)

I tried plugging in my dongle thinking maybe thats what the switch is for, but nothing even if i use the dongles software, This switch seems pointless, It must be for a reason.

Please help,

Thanks in advance

i know when i connect my phone via bluetooth (Razr) i have to tell my phone to be discoverable. Then it says "discoverable for 60 seconds" then i get on my computer and tell it to do a search for bluetooth devices in the area. I'm not sure if that helps.
