Can't get into bootloader mode on nRF52832 breakout board

I have two new nRF82532 breakout boards. They initially came up in bootloader mode and I could program them. But now I can’t get back into the bootloader. I’ve tried both methods: holding down both buttons then releasing Reset, and the method of holding down S6 while plugging in the FTDI board. Nothing works. I also tried the method given below by Member #1328038, 2 years ago. That doesn’t work either.

Anything else I can try? Is this board working reliably for people or is it broken?

Member #1328038:

"How to get NRF into bootloader mode: Press 06 button then reset button and hold both down for at least 5 seconds. Release the reset button while still holding the 06 button and wait until both LEDs flash (this may take up to about 15 seconds). The red LED should turn back on and the blue LED should start blinking. The board should now be in bootloader mode. This seems to be a fairly relaible way. "

What SparkFun part number do you have and what are you programming it with?
