cant turn on bluetooth

I can't turn on blue tooth.

When I go to blue tooth preferences the on and discoverable
boxes to click are grayed out. no way of turning it on.

I am running a PPC G-5 with an external Kensington blue tooth module.

It worked once, but now it wont work. Is there any way to
turn on blue tooth other than the preferences?

G-5 2.0 Ghz / intel I-Mac G-5 2.0 gz 2 GB memory, Mac OS X (10.4.11), 4 GB ram

Hello id:

Short answer, no. However, try a couple of things:

Reset PRAM

Reset the SMU

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1767

If neither of those work, I would contact Kensington for a replacement.

thanks Barry,

I found the turn on switch in the mouse and keyboard preferences. Boy
talk about being hidden away. Must be different machines? I just bought a new
tower with it running leopard and the configurations are all different from
the older tower running leopard.

Oh well, I got it working . Thanks for taking the time to respond.
