Hello Garuda users,
My Bluetooth never works when I shut down my laptop. The Bluetooth only detects when I restart my laptop. How can I fix this issue? My laptop model number is HP Pavilion g6.
I have tried all the solutions available in the Garuda forum but all have failed. Then I wrote it down here hoping for a perfect and solid solution for this.

Failed units:Your bios version appears quite old. Visit HP's site to see the last bios they had for your model of laptop. Since, this too affects the components of laptop. And given the description of your issue this seems the most likely culprit.
You can google how to update your bios. apart from that you might want to take a look at this
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Laptop/HP
Specifically this part according to which archlinux quite simply has bad/no support for bluetooth on your device
I use an Asus BT500 USB-stick for bluetooth-support on my pc. Works perfectly. Maybe that'd be an option for you.
I'd try installing
sudo pacman -S broadcom-bt-firmware-git
And reboot
