As I realised later, fimware flashing repeatedly failed due to a dead battery. And I had no means to find out since I had removed BME and the charging mechanism was badly broken. Eventually used an external battery to charge, and flash.
Did take about 8 samples with both powertop and zzztop and the general pattern remains the same. Does so even after flashing.
I bought the device used (and fairly battered) and as someone in a
different thread
pointed out, aggressive overclocking *may have* led to BT failure in their case [1]. Could well be the case here as well. My worst fear is that the device may be dying.
Thank you.
[1] - Possible but unlikely, as I've come to understand from subsequent posts in this thread.
