IS this the same sort of issue here in this thread?

New Proffie 3.9 Board Not working properly Proffieboards

I’ve just received a Proffie 3.9 alongside my saber order, and was working on getting things together and configured. The problem I’m having is rather complicated so I’ll give a brief explanation followed by the steps I have followed in testing. Upon finishing the wiring of all the components and double checking everything, I attempted to toggle on the killswitch and power the board for the first time and didn’t get any sound or light. The only thing that signified anything was that the bluetooth LED was blinking. I flipped the killswitch off and checked all my connections and they looked good. Flipped it back on and got sound/light etc, but any time I turned it on after this, again there would be nothing but the BT LED. I thought maybe there was a misconfiguration on the board, so I worked with some people on the discord to create and push up a new configuration to my proffie, but ended up at the same results with just the BT led being the only consistent thing. However, after a lot of trial and error, I have found a consistent, if inconvenient way to get the saber in the correct state. I’ve also used ryryog25’s proffie config tool to push a new configuration, and do bootloader recovery. When initially powered on via USB/Battery: BT LED comes on, nothing else, when connected via USB there is no proffieboard or bootloader in my devices When holding BOOT and pressing RESET Bootloader mode starts as expected and appears in my devices When holding RESET and pressing BOOT Over USB, this boots the saber into the appropriate mode. I get sound, light, OLED, everything. However, over battery, this does nothing. I am unable to get the saber to turn on correctly over battery at all. The only thing that I can do is connect the battery, connect USB, and then do the RESET and BOOT method to get it working. At which point I can disconnect the saber from USB and battery will keep it running correctly no problem until I turn it off again, at which point it goes back to the standard BT LED on and nothing else. Also, to mention, in order to get the saber working, I have to put it in bootloader mode first, then reset, then reset and boot. I’m at a loss for what could be causing this. Any help would be very appreciated.
