bluetooth issue Acer Aspire V17 nitro


i have an acer aspire vn7-791 laptop
linux mint 17
windows 8.1
all works fine, ive actually had it for almost 2 years dual booting Windows (which i only kept for a few games on steam), the only problem ive had so far is Bluetooth.
ive been able to use pretty much everything with the occasional head bump but, Bluetooth seems impossible to workout.

at first i was under the impression that the laptop was fairly recent and that the driver support from Acer was not available yet.
i cant seem to find nothing regarding that. its been 2 years, id hope some driver has made its way out..

recently i did an update on MINT with the driver manager and it installed a propietary driver for my NVIDIA graphics card, this i did not have that drive before, i was wondering if i may be missing something similar for the bluetooth. however i cant find something that may do the trick.

ive tried installing Blue devil
i tried several things actually, but im willing to try them all over again, if only someone could be patient enough and willing to help me out id be very grateful.
