Is the application up high, do they have a man basket? Might need a pair of dykes to pull off the old caulk.

Give it to us raw and wiggling, you keep nasty chips!

I just pointed you in the right direction. You did all the work. Glad to hear you got it going. This is the only drawback to buying niche laptops. They often require a bit of tinkering for a year or two while kernels get patched.

Nice write up by the way, might help the next person.

Any time and good luck!

I have no nixos experience so I would not be the best person to ask. You could try asking a new question on lemmy with the updated info asking for nixos specific help on the best way to translate the github gist to something a bit more familiar to you.

You might be able to ask the author of the github gist for advice?

Glad I could at least hopefully point you in the right direction.

It’s good news at least that your hardware is working.

I’m unfamiliar with nixos, you might try using different kernels. Try the latest one and maybe a few kernels behind the one your using now.

Does your bt card need firmware?

On the crosspoast there was a comment that suggested flushing the power from the machine. I had an asus laptop that bluetooth would fail after switching to linux from windows (dualboot). The only fix was to boot to windows and shut bluetooth off. I never thought about flushing the charge from the motherboard which might have been a solution to that issue.

I would search for your motherboard make model and see if their is an option to reset your chips. On my asus laptop you unplug the power and hold the power for 30 seconds.

Another option might be to try a windows live usb. If the bluetooth works there try disabling it in windows.

If all the above fails it is likely the hardware. Might take it to a computer tech to see if they can fix it?

Just a thought but have you tried a live usb of another distro? If it works there it’s probably not hardware and at least that would be ruled out.

OpenDyslexic. I used to hate reading. Read one and a half books this year. Also 3 novella’s. For fun! I never read for fun. Usually just programming books to get my feet wet before jumping into documentation. Never an entire book cover to cover unless Im obsessed enough.

I was sceptical but it really does help.
