Is there bluetooth on my acer tarvelmate 2200?

Hi

I have recently bought myself a Acer Aspire 5742
and mine does not have the bluetooth facility built into it
but i have a usb bluetooth dongle if ever i should need it
they are not very dear on ebay

many thanks

Some Acer Aspire 5251 has Bluetooth hardware, some don't. If you don't have the hardware part of it, the software part of it will not do you any good. Chances are though, however, that you do not have the Bluetooth hardware in it.

You can get a USB Bluetooth dongle for *very* cheap, here is a link to one: Link

Hope this helped!

Hi

If your laptop model have Bluetooth module, so you need to download and install it;s driver.
The question is: Does your laptop have Bluetooth module ?
If you don't know, go to the manufacture's website and check the specifications for your laptop.

Good Luck

UPDATE DRIVER BY ACER SITE WWW.ACER.COM. & UPDATE BIOS .

on my notebook travelmate 2200 are on the front 2 burning switches if burns they are connect.otherwise you go to acer website and download manuall for this notebook and you wil be come out

There are six sub models included in the model number you have given and according to the acer website none of the specifications indicate that there is wirelss bluetooth built into the laptop. So it appears that it does not.

Yes your Machine got WPAN: Bluetooth® 2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate).

If its not working then you need the drivers, you can download them free here

If you problem was solved, Kindly do Rate!

hi..ya you have the bluetooth facility in your
laptop.
check it out..
thank u..
kindly rate my response..

hi,
just try to check with drivers, which is provided with the laptop..
if this not help then take it to service station and ask them about the circuit of bluetooth. if it is available then tell them to put appropirate drivers.
cause in many acer model they give an option of bluetooth but there is no bluetooth. they provide u and slot for that. for ur future options
this might solve ur problem

The bluetooth unit is optional sorry to say.
And because of the button, it deceived me too.

I searched for the solution.
And found the Acer original Bluetooth modules that would work.
(Part numbers: 54.AR102.001, or 54AR102001)
But unless you are comfortable opening your laptop,
your easiest option is to buy a small usb dongle.

I don't have a problem opening my case,
I do it for a living ;-)
So if that is your course of action, do a search on ebay for
"Acer 5520 4730 4930 Bluetooth 2.0 Module".
Or visit this guy's store: OldEgg
He sells an aftermarket unit for 24 bucks (compared to $64 for the originals)
And he is a powerseller with almost 12000 sales and 99.6% positive feedback.
(That's what I look for when buying on eBay, lol)

Anyway, I don't know the guy, but that's what I'm going to do with my Acer 4730.

Hope it helps someone!!
Laterz!!
