Tim Chen, as per
http://www.dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/19/Product/inspiron-14-amd-m4040
an update is available for your BIOS (A05). If you update to this, does
it change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  [Dell Inspiron M4040] BIOS reports the wrong availability of bluetooth

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The bluetooth is not installed, but
  "/sys/kernel/debug/dell_laptop/rfkill" says bluetooth is installed as
  below.

  While unit is under this issue, the bluetooth icon on the task panel
