Troubleshooting • Bluetooth Issue on RPi 5

Hi guys, new here. Got a rather problematic issue going on. I'm unable to use bluetooth with my Raspberry Pi 5. It may be of interest to you to know that there is something minor (undiagnosed) wrong with the Pi, as detailed in this post viewtopic.php?t=370779. I am getting worried now, as I suspect there might be a problem with the GPIO pins (not sure). It's not an OS problem, I tried switching OSes, using ones where bluetooth was confirmed working on other devices and it just doesn't work on mine. It used to work but then I stopped using it for a while and now it doesn't. Followed a lot of online advice and nothing helped. Going into the technical details,
The BD address is 00:00:00:00:00:00 (unusual). I'll get the exact logs and output of commands back to this post by 24h from now. dmesg errors about D-Bus experimental not being enabled and not being able to init vcp and other (services?). bluetoothctl can't work with the device (default controller not found) and a lot of the commands (from the forum help sections) simply don't work (110 - Timeout). Updated everything btw. Currently testing on RPi OS full. I am only worried about the problem getting worse, since it was first the LED and now this.
Really don't want it getting worse, I have a lot of projects depending on this (am a young (14) dev with limited funds and can't afford to mess up ).
Any and all advice appreciated
