I suspect that the bluetooth controller is broken, like in my laptop. Bluetooth usb-dongles are not very expenisve, so can't at the moment suggest any other soloution.

Well then I admit it may be firmware/driver issue, but then you have to identify the chip, to investigate further. Maybe try some live CD like Knoppix,if it could even ireveal anything.

A google search of your laptop model + linux + bluetooth might also possibly help your yourney, the easy solution I have already provided, buy a usb dongle.

That's why I downloaded a github firware but you told me it was not a good idea
For the dongle, I will see if I really need it.
Thanks
