MacBook Pro - "Bluetooth not available"

I seem to have 'lost' the Bluetooth connection on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012, macOS Catalina 10.15.7; currently up-to-date). When I click on Apple logo - About This Mac - System Report - Hardware - Bluetooth, "No information is found" appears. None of the fixes given elsewhere work for me.

Can you help?

MacBook Air doesn't find bluetooth module I have a MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015) and a macOS Catalina (10.15.5). Some time ago I realized my Bluetooth is not working but it was ok because I didn't use it. Yesterday I tried to pair with bluetooth speaker and I failed. I tried different solutions like restarting computer, resetting the SMC and PRAM, deleting .plist files but it never helped. Mac doesn't find bluetooth module at all because system report says "no information found'' on bluetooth page. And I can't use Shift+Option and click on the Bluetooth menu to access debug menu and select reset the bluetooth module. What should I do?

You can’t open the “Bluetooth” preferences pane because it is not available to you at this time. I have MacBook Pro 2012 (mid) running on Catalina. I'm unable to use Bluetooth since the update, can't even debug. Any Solution?

We have no idea what "fixes" you have tried, so:

reset SMC

reset NVRAM

restart in Safe Mode

did you try all? any change?

reinstall the OS from Recovery? did you try that?
