Update bluetooth.md - #1393
Conversation
I could not detect any bluetooth devices and was only able to get this working after following the resolution reported in this [redddit forum](https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/10od78v/pop_os_bluetooth_not_working/). I would like to also state I have faced similar problems on Windows where unplugging cable after shutdown worked. But with PopOS that wasn't the case and only resolved after waiting 60 seconds. Let me know if there is any power output I need to provide or Bluetooth device details for this PR to be merged, thanks.

FYI I'm on Pop!_OS 24.04 when I enountered the problem. Not sure if you even need further hardware/software info at this point. |

Hi Emma, FYI: Github deletes workflow runs awaiting approval after 30 days. I made this PR on June 30th. It's now July 27th. Could you please get my PR peer approved before the 30th? Thank you. Jordan |

That isn't anything to worry about. |

A couple things:
- This only applies desktop computers, but this doesn't make that clear.
- This is a pretty drastic step that is not guaranteed to fix the problem, and is very hardware-dependent. I'd rather couch it in language along the lines of "in some cases" or "this might help", rather than inserting it as the next troubleshooting step that everyone should try. I'm not sure how to state that sentiment cleanly though.

Maybe you you solved much of the problem.

Good catch. A gaming laptop would not get the same resolution. I can mention that.

True it is not guaranteed. How about this sentiment and heading instead so we can ensure only desktop users attempt it?
Desktop computer power reset
This solution is not applicable to laptops and in some cases can be resolved via these steps.
- Shut down the computer.
- Unplug the computer.
- Wait 60 seconds.
- Plug back in and power on the computer.

Merging this PR would save folks a lot of troubleshooting as my resolution has been mentioned near the top.
