And there's no Bluetooth device manager category, in the device manager, correct?
If so, there's probably a hardware issue with the Ralink Wi-Fi/Bluetooth adapter.
Have you tried removing and firmly reseating the Wi-Fi adapter?
Sometimes the contacts get oxidized.

Don't bother reseating the card if there's a Bluetooth device manager category listed.
Click to expand that category, and does it show a Ralink Bluetooth adapter installed and working properly?
If it shows a generic Bluetooth adapter, the driver isn't installed.

I'm stumped.
BT should be working fine.
What is that unknown device you have there in the device manager? That needs a driver.
Please post the hardware ID for it so I can figure out what driver it needs.
Use this guide for how to find the hardware ID for a device:

OK, well that isn't going to get the BT to work, I wouldn't think.
I don't know what to say.
If your notebook had two antenna wires, I say upgrade the wifi card, but I think the 350 G1's with the Ralink cards only have one antenna wire..
I don't understand why the BT is turned off.
All the Fn keys should be working and the F12 key should enable/disable Airplane mode and that would also turn off the Wi-Fi too.
