[SOLVED] Unable to use onboard bluetooth on Pi Zero 2 W (due to a defective board)

[jenzd]

I have just ordered a second Pi Zero 2 and wil post an update once it is here, yet I have already marked the thread as "Solved".

The replacement is there and ... works straight out of the box. Bluetooth is responding and sending healthy signals.

So my board was indeed defective. All good now.

Thanks again!
