Wanting to give my Lenovo B590 new life, I recently installed Ubuntu 16.04 on it. However, Bluetooth does not work at all anymore; indeed, running lsusb yields

As you see, the built-in Broadcom Bluetooth 4.­0 is not detected at all, hence I could not follow this other guide. None of the other guides I have found helped much, either; many were technical and aimed at older versions of Ubuntu or were not useful for other reasons. How can I get Bluetooth working? Complete step-by-step guides are very welcome and might be awarded.

Update: As requested in the comments, I provide the output of dmesg | grep -i blue:
