I have a bluetooth symbol on my dell inspiron 9300 how do i turn it on I can't find it anywhere
 
It may be turned on and off in the bios. Not a Dell user but check you owners documents and go into the bios to see if there is a device switch there. Hope this helps.
 
Not all laptops that have that icon actually have the bluetooth hardware installed. The software for bluetooth seems to run no matter what.

Does your laptop show bluetooth as part of the options when you ordered it?
