My Bluetooth adapter suddenly disappeared, and I have been trying to fix it but no luck.

I have tried to enable or start it again but its status is still inactive.

~$ sudo systemctl enable bluetooth
Synchronizing state of bluetooth.service with SysV service script with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable bluetooth

~$ sudo systemctl status bluetooth
● bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service
  Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
  Active: inactive (dead)
    Docs: man:bluetoothd(8)

What else can I do?

If you want to start the service without a reboot, you should run:

$ sudo systemctl enable --now bluetooth

Or:

$ sudo systemctl start bluetooth

If you simply run systemctl enable it will enable the service for the next boot, but it wont start it.
