Cannot re-enable Bluetooth on Cinnamon/XFCE
 
Hello,
I have Thinkpad X61t with Bluetooth. It runs with Linux Mint 20.3. Some time ago I disabled Bluetooth via "Bluetooth" app (no hardware disabling). And now I cannot re-enable it - Linux says, no adapter found. Also "lsusb" command does not list my adapter.

can anyone give me a hint, how I can re-enable my Bluetooth adapter?

Best regards from Hamburg,
Andrey

How are you trying to re-enable it?
What is the full and exact error text?
Did lsusb list it previously?

What is the output of "rfkill list"? (May need to be root.)

Does inxi --bluetooth -xxx show anything useful? (Unsure if Mint 20.3 has a recent enough version of Inxi.)

I resolved the issue. There was an issue with connector from Bluetooth card to the main board. After I re-seated the connector, the Bluetooth card was recognized by Linux properly.
