Bluetooth Preference Pane Gone?

[jpipitone]

I installed Tiger a few days, and it's been running great.

Last night, I was using my Bluetooth keyboard, and I shut off Bluetooth in the System Preferences pref pane to save battery power, and then today I went to turn it back on, and the preference pane is gone!

Also, I can still see the Bluetooth status bar at the topmost of my screen, however, the only option is "Bluetooth: Not Available"

Usually, I would go into the Bluetooth pref pane and turn it back on, but it's gone

HELP!

Sounds like your hardware thinks your Bluetooth USB stick or Bluetooth hardware is not available. I've heard it happen on some PowerBooks (and happened on mine once, too). This is not related to Tiger AFAIK. Simply shut your PowerBook down (completely) and start it up again. It should be back, then. (At least in all cases I know of, this helped.)
