ESP32 Thing Plus upload reset

Hello,

I’m hoping someone can assist with getting an ESP32 Thing Plus to re-upload new executable code from the Arduino IDE.

I have two Thing+ boards which had been working fine. I’ve repeatedly uploaded code to them without issue; however, one of the devices is now unable to re-upload code. Both will execute their prior programs, and send ASCII serial data over USB to the Arduino Serial Monitor, so I should have correct board settings, baud etc.

However, when I attempt to upload of new code, only one of the devices receives it. When I begin an compile/upload and depress the RST button to initiate an install, the Arduino IDE simply times out. Is there a way to reset the board to receive data. Also, I do have three GPIO pins with soldered wires. Perhaps that could be an issue?

Any troubleshooting steps or insight is appreciated.

Can you please provide a video of your attempts? Timing can be tricky
