Default Where did my Bluetooth go?

Hi i recently bought a Gateway Notebook, Model: MD2614U with built in
bluetooth capabilitys. However one day i noticed i couldn't turn on the
bluetooth using the keyboards function shortcut keys. I had the wireless
adapter switched on too, but it still did not work. So as im looking through
the device manager there isn't any non working devices at all, and the
bluetooth device is not listed as well. I can't find it anywhere on my
laptop. So can any one please help?

The following spec for your computer does not list Bluetooth:

If you were previously to able to use a Bluetooth device with it are sure
that you were not also for your using a Bluetooth dongle?

I have a Dell notebook and periodically my Bluetooth goes AWOL requiring me
to reScan for Hardware Changes. have you tried this from deveice manager?
Click on computer name then Action menu Scan for Hardware Changes. This
should normally occur on reboot anyway so it may not help. Are you sure your
system has bluetooth?
