How do I enable bluetooth in my Acer Extensa 4420-5963

I have a Extensa 4420-5963 with Vista Home and there is a switch for Bluetooth in the front of the laptop but I do not know how to make work the bluetooth. I purchased a bluetooth mouse and I want to connect it.
In the manual of the mouse says that I should go to Control Panel / Hardware and Sound / Bluetooth but when I go to hardware and Sound there is no Bluetooth option or tab.
I move the switch for the Bluetooth in front of the laptop and I see a message like "no bluetooth device".
Should I download any driver to make possible the mouse with the laptop using bluetooh?
Is the Bluetooth built in the laptop? or should I buy some USB Bluetooth adapter in order to be able to connect the latop to my bluetooth mouse?
Thank very much in advance for your answer

Actually Acer use the same laptop case for some of their models, so the acer 4420 doesn´t have built-in bluetooth, you won´t find any driver for the bluetooth cause that reason. I have an extensa 4420-5910, have a bluetooth switch in the case but no bluetooth, if you check at Acer´s web page it say thet some models doesn´t have built-in bluetooth but the switch is in the laptop case... On the other hand, if you install an external bluetooth device, the case switch will be usefull to turn it on and off.

If your laptop came with Bluetooth you can go into the BIOS to enable the device, you also may need to install the driver from the CD that came with your laptop.
Be EXTREMLY careful not to change any other settings in the BIOS as if you do not know, you can make your computer UNBOOTABLE.
Then you will need to install the driver for your mouse.
Good Luck.

The bluetooth switch at the front of my acer extensa 5630 computer broke off is there anotherway to enable the bluetooth on it

There are some excellent suggestions and advice posted, if none have worked go to control panel\device manager and actually looked in the device list and checked to see if you have Bluetooth on the machine, if you have a bluetooth device listed you should try and click on the Bluetooth icon in control panel\bluetooth .Assuming you are running windows! let us know how you get on.

Wen i was installing bluetooth driver on my extensa 5620 it was saying that no bluetooth device found please make sure that it ws enabled....but how to enable it..?

hi, look for the button than turns your wireless lan on, most systems that's the same button that turns the bluetooth on. You can run a search on the start menu search bar. Just type bluetooth into the bar and everything related to the bluetooth will come up.
hope this helps

Bluetooth not getting enabled

Ever though there is a switch on this acer to turn on the Bluetooth device, there is not a bluetooth adaptor installed in this computer. You can go to the Acer website and confirm this but I suspect that the bluetooth adaptor was not installed.
It was an optional feature with Acer.
It will be costly to install the device, so I would recommend you buy a USB bluetooth device.There is some options to install some after market bluetooth devices inside of your Acer, but they can sometimes be complicated to install.
Hope this answers your question.
