The Bluetooth on my Intel Mini(10.6.8) seems to have stopped working. Neither my Apple keyboard nor my Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 will connect.

They both work with two other Macs, so they are not the problem.

Bluetooth is obviously on for the Mini, and a restart has not solved the problem.

Any ideas please?
[doublepost=1508413550][/doublepost]Disregard. Sorted it by deleting the devices from the list and setting them up again.
 
Do you see any devices in the Mini's Bluetooth preferences pane?

Does System Information>System Report... show a working Bluetooth? Might be a clue there but I don't know.

You might have to crack it open to see if the antenna has become disconnected from the Bluetooth board.
