Hi Matt If it's not showing up in System Preferences then sounds like the Bluetooth module isn't getting recognised. You can double check it if you go to Apple menu - About this Mac. Click on "More Info...." Under Hardware then Bluetooth, if it says the say thing " No Bluetooth Hardware Found" then it means it's not being seen by the computer. Could be it's either come loose a little (best case scenario) or something has happened to it hardware wise (Worst case scenario).
You can also try a PRAM reset and a PMU reset. More info here:- <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4439813> Let us know how you go.
