My macbook, intel core duo (not core 2 duo), i bought from ebay off a college student. I've never owned a mac before and i was new to the bluetooth capabilities. I tried using it and it would only work say... 5 minutes throughout the entire day. it always said bluetooth: not available. i went to the applestore and while i was looking at some imacs i noticed that the bluetooth was working... for all of them.

another problem, not sure if it is related is that when i set my laptop to sleep mode. it will go to sleep for about 30 seconds then come right back on!

and another problem! it may be related to the sleep problem but when i close my macbook, without putting it to sleep or anything. to like bring it upstairs in a hurry or something. when i open the laptop, the backlight will not turn on, for like 1 minute. if i open it slightly it will turn on but when i open it up to my liking, it will take forever for it to come on... I have a feeling something is wrong with my macbook...

You don't have a virus, there are no MacOs X viruses. Ignore the previous comments, You don't have a virus. Check your energy saver control panel in the system preferences, make sure you have it set the way you want for both battery and power adapter. You can set it differently for each. Also if you close the MacBook and it has not shut off, it will go to sleep when you close it. If it sleeps long enough, the hard drive shuts down also. So it takes longer to start up from a "deep" sleep. If you touch a key while it is sleeping, it will wake up. You have to turn Bluetooth on to get it to work. The preferences for Bluetooth are the second icon from the right at the top menu bar. Adjust them the way you need it to be. Bluetooth has limited range, you use it to communicate with keyboards and mice. When it says it is not available, that means there are no Bluetooth devices detected.

I dropped mine and the demonstrate screen end working. They replaced it with a miles better computing gadget interior of 10 minutes. they have extraordinary guarantee!
