No Bluetooth Found

Thank you for the prompt reply.

I did a lot of things. I will list them all here.

First, I enabled access to both the free and the nonfree RPM fusion repositories from https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration and did dnf install broadcom-wl.

Then, I rebooted the laptop and then nothing happened, i.e., there was an error on the screen (white text on a completely black screen) that would not allow me to move beyond that area. I thought that I had (for the lack of a better term) bricked my laptop.

Next, I did some research on online forums and found a comment which stated how installing broadcom-wl without upgrading the system caused problems for the user. I followed that comment made by the user and the instructions in the post by the original poster to get my WIFI working.

I took the following steps:

  1. Booted with previous kernel in the GRUB menu
  2. dnf remove broadcom-wl
  3. sudo dnf upgrade
  4. sudo dnf install broadcom-wl
  5. sudo dnf install kernel-devel-$(uname -r)
  6. sudo akmods --force
  7. sudo depmod -a
  8. sudo modprobe wl

After taking all these steps, I now have WIFI but still do not have bluetooth.

If I go to settings, it shows the same message - No Bluetooth Found.
