No device found after loading blinky example LED not blinking indicating nRF51 is not advertising

[xephire]

I used to able to get the blinky example in SDK11 to work. But for some unknown reason I couldn't scan my device using Nordic master control panel. The LED1 will be turned on forever and not blink as it should be. It is not advertising as well as I couldnt scan my board transmitting. I flashed the correct softdevice S130, but I just couldn't detect my board at all, its not advertising anymore. Other sdk version's blinky example doesn work as well. I'm using nrf51822 dev kit

What are you using to compile / build the application?

I posted a similar issue today as none of the BLE examples would work on my nRF51822 board.

The only example that seems to work for me is examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_beacon\pca20006\s130\armgcc

Did you try the pre-built hex files e.g. \examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_hrs\hex\ble_app_hrs_s130_pca10028.hex

They work for me. So my issue is something to do with the build process
