    Can't find where to turn on BlueTooth

    There is some utility that turns on and off the BT on my ASUS z70va that I can't find. The network connections say the device is unplugged. The device manager says that the device is working properly. There is a button above the keyboard which turns the Bluetooth on and off and I've checked and it is on.

    I've searched help, etc. And either it leads to a dead end or it says the device is unplugged or not connected and to connect it first.

    I believe there is a utility that turns BT on and off (along with an option to turn on and off the wireless card.) I think I turned the BT off while I was trying to diagnose problems with the wireless connection.

    On the other hand, it is possible that along with everything else, when the laptop when into repairs a couple of weeks ago, the tech person turned it off. ASUS so messed up my computer while in for repairs, it isn't funny.

    My OS is XPSP3, I have Bluetooth Personal Area Network from TOSHIBA, an Intel Pro/wireless 2915ABG Network Connection, a 1394 Net Adapter and a Marvell Yukon 88E8001/8003/8010 PCI Gigabit Ethernet Controller.

    Anyone have any ideas?
