Turning Bluetooth on with no mouse or trackpad

So, my husband turned Bluetooth off on our macbook pro and the trackpad doesn't work! Does anyone know how to turn Bluetooth back on with no mouse or trackpad!?

Here's a sequence that worked for me when I had the same issue.

  1. Press Space to activate Spotlight.
  2. Type "bluetooth", choose the 'Bluetooth File Exchange' application, and press Return.
  3. Bluetooth File Exchange will prompt to enable the bluetooth hardware, press Return.
  4. Bluetooth is now enabled and you can quit Bluetooth File Exchange.
