Acer Aspire 9500 WLAN wireless on/off button

Located beside the keyboard are application buttons. These buttons are called easy-launch buttons. They are: WLAN, Internet, email, Bluetooth, Arcade and Acer Empowering Technology.

Looks a bit like a magnifying glass outline above a small eliptical spot.
If its the right model I am thinking of, hope it helps

Not sure if this will work for your model but its worth a try. Copied from MSI support faq website
You have to press the WLAN button located right next to the power button in order to enable/disable the Bluetooth function. Press WLAN button once, Enable WLAN. Press WLAN button twice, Enable Bluetooth. Press WLAN button thrice, Enable both WLAN and Bluetooth. Press WLAN button four times, Disable both WLAN and Bluetooth.

I m nt able to locate my wifi switch on my laptop acer aspire4720z. plz help

Hello,

Your wi-fi switch is located to the top most buttons on your laptop which is the "easy-launch buttons". The first one is WLAN(your wi-fi), second is INTERNET, third EMAIL, fourth BLUETOOTH, and fifth ARCADE.

You may need to setup your wi-fi by pressing the Empowering Key (triangle button inscribed with letter "e").

Hope this helps.

Hi my laptop (acer aspire 5672wlmi) wlan and bluetooth switch that are conntected to its motherboard have broken off and are broke is there any way that im able to turn the bluetooh and wireless on without...

I believe that you can turn these functions on and off via the Network Connections that you can access from the control panel.

In Windows XP:
Click on START button
Select Control Panel
Click on Network Connections

In Windows Vista:
Click on START button
Select Control Panel
Select Network and Internet
Select Network and Sharing Center
In left panel, select Manage Network Connections

Once here, you should see your wireless adapter and your bluetooth adapter. If you Right-Click on either connection, a menu will pop up and you can choose to Enable or Disable the connection without the button on the front of your computer.

Hope this helps.

Bluetooth and wlan not working

This may sound like a stupid question but does your notebook computer have a WLAN/Bluetooth switch somewhere. This can be a touchsensitive "button" with some kind of antenna icon on it or a real switch/button.

If it's turned off, turn it on.

I hope this helps. Please rate.

Greetings,

DarkNeogen.
