Fn+F5 only shows if you have bluetooth, not bluetooth antenna.

Don't know if your TP has an antenna but you can easily determine that by removing the palm rest, keyboard and modem daughter card. The antenna can be found on the left side of the TP toward the LCD, it's usually a white cable with BT on the label.
