    Hallo,

    I have searched endlessly on Google to try and find a solution to my problem, I hope I can find it here.

    I cannot turn on Bluetooth on my Asus Notebook X551M (Windows 8 - 64 bit)

    Apparently there is a button somewhere on the laptop where you can turn it on, I've looked and searched but cannot find it.

    If I go to SETTINGS > CHANGE PC SETTINGS > WIRELESS then I can see several items such as BROADBAND, WI-FI and BLUETOOTH, but the bluetooth is just a solid grey, there is no way to turn it on. The broadband and wi-fi are turned on, but you cannot set the bluetooth to ON mode.

    I re-installed new drivers (as recommended on the Asus official driver website, but nothing works.

    Please help me to turn it back on!!
