MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) High Sierra 10.13.6 AirDrop does not show "Allow me to be discovered by"

I've researched and tried https://www.lifewire.com/airdrop-troubleshooting-4159797 and here AirDrop Not Working on Mac? Tips to Fix the Issue Neither this has helped How to Fix AirDrop Not Working on Mac [Full Guide] None of the drill/restart etc has made it work. Will it work at all?
