I have an Acer C110 tablet PC and I can't get bluetooth to activate,
any ideas?

Do you actually have Bluetooth installed? Most OEMs offer it as an Option,
and you must specify it in your purchase.

I had a problem with bluetooth on my acer. I reloaded the drivers, modified
my bluetooth configuration in the control panel, everything I could think
of. It just would not work...

....until I realized that I had to hit the darn "bluetooth" button above the
keyboard for it to physically turn on.

Doh. Then the bluetooth light came on up above the screen (you know, where
the wireless, caplocks, and hard drive indicator lights are) and everything.
Now I can back up my contacts on my cell phone.

I am totally not saying that you haven't tried the button technique yet, I
am just sharing my experience. ; )

Is your bluetooth light on?

According to my specs, it does have it. In the Laptop manager it is
grayed out, and I remember that once it worked. I just have NOT tried
it in a long time.

I learned the button trick early on on this unit with WIFI, but there
should be a check box in the pop up box that shows up after pressing
the button, but their is only the WIFI choice.

The early acer C110s listed bluetooth as built-in, and then later as an
option, but none of the U.S. units have it. If you have a C110 (not a custom
C111 or C112) sold in the U.S. then you probably do not have bluetooth
installed. Acer actually changed it's promotional material for the C110/C111
in the U.S. to reflect this. I think some folks are still threatening to sue
because the promotional material was so misleading.
