My bluetooth won't turn on my macpro

For some reason my bluetooth turned off by itself and now it won't allow me to press the command to turn it back on. I restarted the computer, went to preferences - it says bluetooth is off. Now none of my bluetooth accessories work.


Any suggestions??

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

- If you do not have a backup use disk utility to restore the internal disk to an external disk so you can try to recover data.

Then format the startup disk and do a fresh install of OSX
