Specs of machine? Built-in bluetooth or external device? To start, try resetting open firmware and see what happens.

Actually, resetting your pram would be a better/easier/safer first step...

when starting up hold down the cmd+option+p+r keys until you hear 2 consecutive bongs, then release them and let the machine continue starting up as normal and see if that helps.

If not, the key combo to get into the open firmware is cmd+option+o+f

linky to some other commands:

Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts
