Obviously, there might be no Bluetooth driver software installed in your computer. Remember that the Bluetooth driver is required to make this work properly. You should download and install the compatible bluetooth for your computer system. Just follow these steps:

1. Visit

http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=3&m=A43SD

2. Select the Operating System of your computer

3. Now, click the Bluetooth link

4. A dropdown option will appear

5. You can download the driver via Global (DLM), Global or P2P

6. Install the software and restart your computer

Take a look to see if you have a manual switch as well to turn on wireless. It should be a switch on the left side or in front of your laptop. If it is ON and you have already pressed FN and F2 at the same time and you are still not getting the symbol to appear, perhaps your hot key functions are not working. Try pressing FN and F5 or F6 to see if your screen dims. If it doesn't then you will have to go to our support site and go under utilities and download the ATK drivers.

Click on the white up arrow on the lower right hand side of your screen. Look for an icon that says wireless 3. There you will be able to turn on wifi and bluetooth if equipped.
