Hi Ronnie,
Thanks once again for your valuable information. Bluetooth has
started again so will see how long it lasts this time. Yes, have
followed all your previous instructions.
Regards
John

Hi John,
I guess you have tried deleting the Bluetooth Preference file? ~/
Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
Once deleted, restart the computer.
If you have tried all the usual "fixes" John, it could be a faulty
Bluetooth Module in your MacBook.
I would suggest you take it to an Apple Service centre and have them
check it.
Do you have APP (AppleCare Protection Plan)?
If you are proficient enough to disassemble your MacBook you could
follow the instructions from the links below.
This is not an easy procedure.

Thanks again Ronni,
Bluetooth and Mighty Mouse worked for about 30 seconds and gone
again. This original Macbook is more than likely the culprit.

Hello John,
Do a SMC reset to get the bluetooth back.
1.) Shut down the computer
2.) Disconnect all cables, printers, etc. including the power cord.
3.) Remove the battery.
4.) Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds (you won't hear
a tone or anything).
5.) Put battery back in and reconnect power cord.
6.) Turn computer back on.
7.) Open System Preferences- Bluetooth should show up under
internet and wireless.
Cheers,
Ronni

Somewhat similar. Took about 1 hour 45 minutes to install on
Macbook. Almost everything appears to be working but no
noticeable improvement over 10.5.8. One exception - the
intermittent Bluetooth problem I have been having for some time
is now resolved; Bluetooth is gone completely. Not a sign of it
in System Preferences.
