Do you mean it just disappeared from the top of the screen? If so, the fix is to go to System Preferences > Bluetooth > Show bluetooth in Menu bar.

Ah. That's different.

Go to Apple > About this Mac > System Report > Bluetooth and see what it says.

It does sound, though, that the bluetooth chip in your Mac is failing. :-(
