Turn on bluetooth, broken switch

[lian1238]

Hi guys,
On my acer aspire laptop, the bluetooth toggle switch has broken. Is there a way to turn it on with a command? In windows, the acer power management can do it. How to do it in Ubuntu?

Wow, I found a way! (unintentionally!)

Edit the file /sys/bus/platform/devices/acer-wmi/bluetooth
Just put a 1 into the file to turn ON, or 0 to turn OFF, the bluetooth!

For example, to turn ON bluetooth:

cd /sys/bus/platform/devices/acer-wmi/
sudo echo "1" > bluetooth

To turn off, just change "1" to "0".
