    Check the BIOS to make sure it's on there - look for the radio switch. The button itself usually controls WiFi/Bluetooth/WWAN.

    Are you sure you actually have a bluetooth module installed? If so then it should just use your WiFi radio switch to control whether it's on or off.

    Even if you don't have a module installed, the computer will show the bluetooth options in the BIOS. Hell, I've seen Windows offer bluetooth services without the device actually being installed. >.<

    The wireless catcher switch is on the left hand side, in the middle, under the vent.
