If the Bluetooth adapter is not showing as listed in Device Manager (did you check ''View > Show hidden devices'' or ''Other Devices'' category if there?) then it may be a faulty Bluetooth card in the laptop or and I'm not sure of this is correct, there may be a BIOS setting that can enable/disable the BT adapter. Check if there is a BT setting in BIOS and if there is, make sure that it is enabled.

Go to p.106 to view the procedure to remove/replace the BT card.
On p.195-p.196 you will find the part number (FRU number) for the two types of card used depending on the version of the laptop (check the product label on the bottom of the laptop to find out what the version number is for your model).
If you determine that it may be a faulty BT card, search online using the ''FRU number only'' to find suppliers
