NRF52840-DK

I received my NRF52840-DK board, today, from Digi-key.  I followed directions in starting it up - power set to USB, switch to on.  When I turn it on, all LEDs flash and pressing buttons does not affect this.  Also, the BLE does not advertised itself.

Have I received a damaged board, or is there something I can do to "wake it up"?

The label on the board says:

PVA10056

3.0.0

2022.7

1050291511

The LEDs are not showing any pattern but all blinking very rapidly and appear to be parallel, but hard to tell because of the speed of the blinking.

Your startup procedures say to load the App to the phone which contains the heartbeat function.  The function requires pairing Bluetooth, which obviously requires the board to be enabling and advertising Bluetooth.
