Unblock Bluetooth

Try this:
rfkill unblock bluetooth
or
rfkill unblock all
or
rfkill unblock 0

If the above doesn't work, try this:
1. Open the Terminal & type: (one after another, pressing Enter after each)
sudo apt-get install bluetooth bluez bluez-tools rfkill -y
sudo rfkill list
sudo rfkill unblock bluetooth
sudo service bluetooth start
sudo apt-get install blueman -y && blueman-manager

2. Reboot.

Did you install blueman?

sudo apt-get install blueman -y && blueman-manager
Reboot.

If that doesn't work, post output of the 2 following commands:
dmesg | egrep -i 'blue|firm'

systemctl status bluetooth

You need to install firmware-atheros and firmware-realtek packages

Add contrib and non-free components to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:

Code: Select all

sudo sed -i 's/^\(deb.* main$\).*/\1 contrib non-free/' /etc/apt/sources.list
update list of packages and upgrade your system:

Code: Select all

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
install firmware-atheros and firmware-realtek packages:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install firmware-atheros firmware-realtek
then reboot your system.

OP: I have an urgent hardware issue, but don't tell you anything about the hardware. Please help me.

Sigh...

How about trying a Live USB of some distro where it should work out of the box, and then giving us a "Quick System Info" or "inxi -Fxxxz" from that session? (MX Linux or Mint)
