Bluetooth was working fine on my Bluetooth stopped working on Raspberry Pi 4 and then just it stopped turning on even on the GUI.

The rfkill list shows the following results:

0: phy0: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
1: hci0: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no

This is the result for hciconfig -a:

hci0:   Type: Primary  Bus: UART

I also tried reinstalling some bluetooth packages but nothing seems to work.

Also this the result for sudo systemctl restart bluetooth:

Job for bluetooth.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status bluetooth.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Output fromsystemctl status bluetooth.service:

This what happens when I try to power on bluetooth using sudo bluetoothctl power on

No default controller available

I also tried sudo bluetoothctl.

What can I do to make it work again?

  • output like that is unreadable in comments ... put that output in the question where it's at least possible to make it readable Dec 26, 2022 at 6:40
