What you need to do is to Press the F1 key and F2 key together at the same time and hold it for a while to activate the blue tooth .If this dose not work for you then you must then double click on to the blue tooth icon on the task bar it will get activated.You try out this as you have also mentioned that you are getting the same message by the system.

I have followed your advice of pressing the F1 key and F2 key ,but seems to be not working for me at all .I have holded the F1 and F2 key for a long time but still it was not showing any connectivity.I have also tried your other method ,but it was not showing any blue tooth icon in the taskbar.I don't know the reason why it is not showing the blue tooth icon .provide me some more solution for this problem.

I feel that your driver for the bluetooth is corrupted Or it might be not installed properly ,because the same problem was encountered by me.My friend suggested me to download new driver .I downloaded new driver from the official site of dell and when i installed that new driver my problem was solved.So i think that you must also try out this solution .It might solve you problem as well.

I think there is no problem with your driver.It is the problem of your Bluetooth device in your laptop because as you problem is not getting solved by Pressing the F1 and F2 key.You take your laptop to the service center of laptops and get it checked by the service man .If your laptop is in the warranty period then go to the dell service center.You try this out as you are not having any other solution.
