Bluetooth has vanished from my MacBook Pro

MacBook Pro (Retina Mid 2012), Catalina 10.15.7. Blue tooth icon on menu bar greyed out, #Bluetooth not available". Shift +alt only renders "Open Packet Logger…". Preference>Network = WiFi Connected, Bluetooth PAN Not Connected. I have attempted every fix and hack I could find through web search. Could it be a possible mechanical device failure? Is it fixable or replaceable in the world of Apple devices?

Of course it's possible for any module to fail.

Most 2012 models are obsolete depending on screen size.

Only this 2012 is listed as supported:
