Bluetooth not working on my laptop.

Open
skillerhun

It was working fine and well in the past but today I couldn't just turn it on as the Turn on and off button wasn't there I tried everything for example restarting my Laptop updating my laptop etc.

Edit: It's an ASUS laptop and it had bluetooth worked fine in the past. I checked device manager if it is downloaded or not and it is.
Does anyone has a solution for this?
(I know this might not be the best place to ask but I just don't know what to do)

First thing to check when bluetooth is not working on laptop - make sure that there is a bluetooth at all. It may sound funny, but I once spent half a day trying to make it work, and end up finding that there is no bluetooth in my laptop model.
