Re: Bluetooth on Acer R7 with intel 7260 card - HELP PLEASE

https://community.acer.com/t5/Legacy-Laptops-and-Netbooks/The-only-way-I-get-my-Bluetooth-working-is-to-reset-the-battery/td-p/477931

I tried this and it works for me. A regular paper clip is not quite small enough... turned off the R7 and removed the power, then held the reset button down on the bottom for a while (with a staple)... restarted, and now bluetooth works!... Not sure how long it will though...

As a side note, I had to create a new username here because it said I didn't have an account. It appears that my account has been deleted somehow and I can't reset my password... I know for a fact I am trying to use the correct email address because I have emails saved from acer that were sent to the address they say is NOT found when I try to reset my password.
Crazy!

I'm thinking it's about time to replace this machine. I spent over $1,000 on it and then had to send it back to the manufacturer multiple times within the first few weeks due to the wifi issue and the space bar issue (which still isn't fixed). Eventually I just had to take it apart and spend the money to fix the wifi problem myself because after mutliple attempts they couldn't seem to get it right... (even after sending me multiple new or refurbished units). and then bluetooth would never work after replacing the wifi chip... I won't EVER be buying an Acer again... When I spend this much money on a brand new laptop I don't expect to have to spend weeks at a time without it shipping it back and forth hoping that one day it works!!! (which is why I gave up after about 3 tries)

These laptops should have been recalled due to their KNOWN problems.
