    HEllo, I am running a Dell Latitude D620. It comes with a bluetooth controller. I had previously disabled it in the BIOS, but now I want to get it back in action. I have re-enabled it in the BIOS, but it's not showing up in my device manager as a network controller (if I remember correctly, it used to) AND the little blue light isn't coming on. So, when I run the bluetooth utility and I try to enable the bluetooth from there it says "activate bluetooth using Fn + F2 of the Radio ON/OFF switch".

    Any and all help is welcomed and appreciated!

    Perhaps reinstalling the bluetooth drivers and program might help.
