Bluetooth Pairing - Device not Visible

Hi all,

First off, thanks to all the developers for all the work on this project.

I am experiencing an issue with one out of five TTGO T-beam boards that I have, all running Meshtastic 1.2.52. The device in question is an M8N model (one of three that I have of that model).

This particular board does not show up for any mobile device in the bluetooth pairing menu. It does not show in Meshtastic app or in the Android BT menu.

So far I have re-flashed, tried a later alpha firmware version, factory reset, inspected the board for defects, returned to 1.2.52, and gone through the settings using meshtastic-flasher on linux to make sure its not in router mode and wifi is disabled.

Has anyone experienced anything like this? Is there a way to reset or turn bluetooth off and on? Its strange that this is only happening on one board. If there is anything else I can check please let me know.

Thanks

safe to say that one board is defective.

Thanks for the input. This is what I was leaning towards but was hoping it was not the case.

The board looks to be in good shape. A different board I have was shipped poorly and the 3d antenna was in the bag but had fallen off. Even that board without the 3d antenna attached was able to pair with BT. I later soldered the antenna back on.

Ill have to pick up a few more
