   I searched for \’Amd Dual Core Processor\’ at Google and found your post named \’by GeekLord.com\’ in search results. Quite interesting to read.

   You don`t need to flash new BIOS to solve the keyboard lag problem. Simply disable the touchpad (Fn + F7), and use external USB mouse. But it will be a problem if you use the laptop outdoor. But for me it`s work well enough.

   @Shaw: Yes, I knew it and used this solution for some time, But it is hard to take the USB mouse every where, even in my home I roam around in different rooms and taking the mouse everywhere was not a good solution.

   Also I find touch pad much productive solution than a small mouse(portable/mini USB mouse) so I had to find a new way.

   I hope this solution will solve your keypad problem for ever.

   To turn on bluetooth or WiFi on Acer Aspire 4520 you simply need to press the buttons given on top of keyboard.
   

   Also you need to install the drivers for bluetooth and WiFi before you can use them.

    @confused08: Install the Bluetooth Drivers from the Supplied CD, then simply press the bluetooth button on the laptop.

    @Vignesh: You may use ndiswrapper to use Windows XP driver in your Linux System, Please note that may you also need to update the Linux Kernal to get it working.

    You may also select Fedora as an alternative distro, and if you choose fedora then visit: http://fedora4520.blogspot.com/search/label/acer%20aspire%204520 for more Linux related help for Acer Aspire 4520.

    @KS Ng: Try installing Driver first. You can get the latest driver from: http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_4520.html
    If it is still not working contact Acer Support.

    Acer Aspire 4520 does not have bluetooth. It has the button but no device is installed. All the drivers on earth wont make it work. I have no idea why they would put the button there but not the hardware. Also you dont need to install drivers for the wifi you should be able to open the box plug in the computer and set up the wifi and be on the net. Most computers now dont come with disks anymore. Mine came with vista preinstalled. If i need to reinstall i can use the recovery option but if my HDD takes a crap i have to pay Acer to send me a disk. I must say that this is a very capable laptop though very impressive for $450 USD. It plays FFXI and every other graphics intensive game i have thrown at it.

    @James: Actually, Acer Aspire 4520 does have blue-tooth. I’ve this notebook and I’m successfully using the blue-tooth option on the notebook. May be it is not supported for the Vista yet. I am using it on my Windows XP system, and also trying to get it working on Ubuntu Linux.

    @Isah Jibril: You can download the LAN and other drivers for your Travelmate 2480 laptopn from: http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/tm_2480.html
