All you that have the Bluetooth problem (I had the same).
Install foxconn broadcomm wireless bluetooth driver.
It should be in a attached CD/DVD in your notebook packed box.
Or search it on.
I did it & now everything works fine.

I’ve purchase ACER Make laptop ( 5738G ) before 14rh Months. And from last 30 days my laptop is not in working condition just because of No Display.

So, i have given my laptop to ACER service center at Ahmedabad in Gujarat. They have detect the problem that this was happen because of NVIDIA 512MB Graphics Controller is heated.

Now they have try to get Graphics Controller From Acer company and they said their is no availability of same components (NVIDIA Graphic Controller 512MB)in the Market and Acer company not giving this components to their Authorized dealer even.

And they have suggested that i need to change the Whole Mother Board.

At this point i am requesting you as a gentle person that give me a link so i can buy from their.

dear friends according to my words please please do not buy this Laptop. because i got much problem in this. Go for HP, Sony or Toshiba,

@ Vivek,

Have a look at the reply from Siddharth to solve the overheating problem. I’m not sure what Acer did wrong on this notebook to make it overheat so much but following these steps really helps. I’ve gotten the temperature on my CPU down to 68 from the 95 cut off temp when running a stress test on it.

There’s nothing wrong on the graphics though, just keep in mind that it’s a mid to low range card so you won’t be able to use anti-aliasing or such. So far I’ve been able to play every game I installed, just not on the best graphics settings
