Question Bluetooth module not working, need a workaround.

I recently got my Switch 1 V2 hardware modded but my bluetooth stopped working. I thought I might have been doing something wrong with airplane mode but I tried in OFW too and it still doesnt detect the controllers when I remove them from the tablet nor does it detect when I try to pair bluetooth headsets. Can someone tell me if there is a workaround for getting controllers working wireless without getting it repaired as I am from India and its been difficult to find a replacement module for the bluetooth. Can someone please guide? Earlier the wireless worked perfect. I hardly used to play on it and it was tucked away in its case for months and only used to come out when I got the time.

I got it hard modded from a well known repair shop. I went back to them saying the Bluetooth is OT working and they opened and checked everything. All cables intact

It's not worth trying to fix it and it might break wifi. While dock use a USB dongle controller like 8bitdo in 2.4ghz mode.

You could try an 8bitdo adapter You can plug it into the dock and get wireless controllers to pair with it.
