Default PowerBook G4 Bluetooth nor working

So 2 days ago I upgraded my partners PB G4 to Leopard. We have always had an Apple Bluetooth keyboard connected to this computer. The old style keyboard not the new slimline one.

Anyway earlier today bluetooth seems to have died. The bluetooth symbol is still up on the menu bar but it is greyed out with a squiggly line thru it.

In system prefs in Network bluetooth shows not connected but when I click on setup bluetooth device it shows the keyboard is paired but not connected with a red dot beside connected. I cant seem to get it going at all.

Any suggestions gratefully accepted

OK after much frustration and several restarts, one of which hung so I had to hold down the power button the bluetooth keyboard is up and running.


I guess we will just see how it goes for now..
