  • Broadcom bluetooth on linux is a very complex issue. It is possible to solve, but it is not a matter of "answers". Try ubuntuforums.

Make sure that the hardware switch is on.

To activate your Bluetooth, you will need to hold down the FN key, and then tap the F2 key once. This should activate the Bluetooth.

Also, Press the F2 key when you power on the system. This should take you to the Bios Screen. Under the Advanced Tab select wireless, and make sure that the bluetooth is set to enabled.
