and how do I get it back?

I opened up my MacBook (13" unibody), it didn't want to wake up - screen stayed black, so I powered off / powered on to get things going. Everything came up except my Bluetooth - no icon on the top bar, no mention of it in System Preferences, System Profiler says No Information Found...nothing, nada. I did another reboot, but still nothing.

How can I get it back?

Tried a PRAM or SMC reset?

Mine has disappeared from my white MacBook, but I haven't tried a PRAM or SMC reset yet because it hasn't bothered me enough.
When I do, I'll let you know.

Yes!

PRAM did not work, but SMC did.

Many thanks for the tip.
