First of all check to see if you actually HAVE a Bluetooth device in your system! It may be possible that your laptop does not have a Bluetooth device built-in. In this case you will need to buy a 3rd party Bluetooth device (like an USB dongle).

If you press the Bluetooth button,and the osd reports "No Device",then all you've got is the button,but no Bluetooth.
Acer uses the same chassis for many different models,so just because the button is there doesn't necessarily mean the machine actually has Bluetooth.

When I press the button nothing happens. Does that mean that I have no bluetooth or ...?

Then you most probably DON'T have a Bluetooth device. Just asking, but: when you bought the laptop didn't you check the specs?
vTake a look in Device Manager and see if there are any devices with problems. Maybe you DO habe a Bluetooth device but it's drivers have not been installed.

Some models have the same case, they have a Bluetooth button and a WLAN button. turned on blue and orange, if you don't see a blue light you do not have Bluetooth.
