Inherited our lads old laptop (he's "gone mac" ...)
Now I am pretty certain it should have WiFi and Bluetooth. But Windows(7) is steadfastly refusing to suggest it has that capability - no disabled interfaces or hardware of any description.
Model is an Acer V3-551-84504G50, which a couple of spec sites say does have WiFi/BT.
Trying a Linux LiveCD doesn't reveal anything :(
There is a "func" F3 button with a WiFi symbol that seems to do **** all when pressed. (Both in Windows and Linux).
Is there something obvious I am missing ? I'm thinking an old style DIP switch ? The BIOS is untouched from new.
Plugging in a USB dongle works perfectly. As does the wired LAN port.
One wrinkle is a smashed screen (why do you think I got it :) ) but I am pretty certain that wouldn't cause any issues ?
