I'm running Windows 8 Consumer Preview, and I switched on Airplane Mode because I wanted to save battery power. I tried to switch Airplane Mode off again, except it always showed off even though nothing wireless was working. After rebooting I could get WIFI to work again, but Bluetooth won't work at all. In device manager it says "Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45) To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer." Very helpful!
Change your OS windows to windows 7

In the end I found the solution in an Ubuntu forum (I have a dual boot system). It basically entailed booting Windows, downloading some Dell utility and using it to switch on Bluetooth.
Can you specify the solution that you have found? I have exactly the same problem you did, although i have an ASUS M51se and Wisdows Vista. Any help would be deeply apreciated!
Like I said, I had to use a Dell utility to get it going. Not all settings are available to Ubuntu sometimes. Nuno, if you have windows, check to see if there are any Asus utilities installed that might allow you to change the appropriate settings. If not, check the Asus site for drivers and utilities specific to your computer. But do check in your BIOS first, the answer might also be there.
