Count me as another dead wifi+bt on PinePhone.
I've barely used this phone, just up and stopped working.
Never got around to getting it even usable as a phone, then hardware fault.
I've not done anything like firmware changes or anything particularly challenging.
I recently revisited it after giving up on making it useful, tried a few different images and then *poof*, up and stopped working.
This seems very much like a fundamental hardware flaw and seems to not be an uncommon problem that probably should find some people getting refunds... You'd hope.

It would seem from all those threads however that no one has had any positive resolution other than, the hardware is dead.
Maybe I'm not seeing those positive responses but it seems everyone has simply purchased their own replacement hardware?
