How can I find out if my laptop has bluetooth support?

In my Lubuntu 18.04 on Thinkpad T400, how can I find out if my laptop has bluetooth support? The bluetooth icon on the panel in the desktop says "No Bluetooth Adapter found". Does it mean that my laptop doesn't have bluetooth support?

If the laptop itself has bluetooth support, how can I enable it and use it with a wireless headphone in Lubuntu?

You can check kernel modules because it would have picked it up and loaded it on start-up. From the command line execute this:

 dmesg | grep -i blue

If something like this returned, your laptop has Bluetooth capability:

 [ 2.933062] usb 1-1.4: Product: Broadcom Bluetooth Device
