It's probably because there's no bluetooth module installed - the 5738 has a bluetooth switch but no hardware. Check the specs of your laptop & I'll bet you won't see bluetooth mentioned.

    Sorry, didn't lose bet, definitely got a switch but no bluetooth module. Acer will supply for £20 odd but it's not the easiest bit of kit to fit so haven't bothered yet.

SOURCE: my bluetooth is not working on my acer aspire 5738

If you do not have a white sticker on your laptop with" Bluetooth" stated your machine does not have one, only the ability to run one once installed, check the acer website for details, downloading lots of drivers will not work if you have no module installed, most do not.

SOURCE: acer aspire 5500z driver bluetooth

First of all check if your Laptop has the bluetooth feature. If it has then the driver should have been automatically installed. There is a button in your laptop, make sure that the bluetooth is on.

Thanks

SOURCE: can Acer aspire 5738 support Windows XP os?

Yes! you can install and run XP OS. Please remember the manufacturers of the VGA, sound, LAN etc of your laptop as you will be needing them to search for drivers later. Follow the link below to download appropriate drivers preferably before you install XP.

Yes you can, good choice. one thing the comment above me didnt mentioned was that you need to change the settings on your disk in BIOS to native IDE and not sata.(if sata the windows installation doesent find your DISKS.) good luck

Aser 5738 laptop bluetooth not working on widows 7

You will probably have to look on the net for a driver that is compatible with windows 7 for your bluetooth device. If you cant find one designed for windows 7 you could try a driver made for vista as many vista drivers work for windows 7 devices as well
