Hey ya'll my bluetooth icon on the top right near time and battery status currently reads "Not Available." How do I make it available or resolve this issue?

What does the Bluetooth Preferences pane say? "Not available" sounds like the hardware isn't there, and with your MacBook it really should be!

For some odd reason the bluetooth has disappeared from the system preference.

Many people have had this issue after updating to 10.5.6.
