[Solved] BCM94360CD bluetooth woes; 10.12.5, wifi ok

[gptoyz]

Still trying to tackle my bluetooth woes on my 10.12.5 installation.

Hardware:
HIS iCooler 7770 1GB
Gigabyte Z97N Gaming Wifi
8gb 2x4gb ddr3
BCM94360CD

I have never gotten the bluetooth to be discoverable or pair to any device!

My BCM94360CD is installed in the factory half height mini PCIe slot with an adapter card that has a usb 2 pin header connected to the USB m/b header connector.

When I boot into OS X I have experienced 3 different failed conditions and I have no clue what causes it:

Condition #1:
Bluetooth shows up in system profiler
Bluetooth is on in menu bar
Cannot toggle bluetooth power on and off
Cannot discover
Cannot pair
Cannot use bluetooth devices

Condition #2:
Bluetooth does not show up in system profiler
Bluetooth icon has a lightning bolt in menu bar

Condition #3:
Bluetooth shows up in system profiler
Bluetooth is off in menu bar
Cannot toggle bluetooth power on and off
Cannot discover
Cannot pair
Cannot use bluetooth devices

Probably a USB Configuration issue. Attach ioreg. [Guide] How to Make a Copy of IOReg | tonymacx86.com

Problem solved

Apparently it did not need the USB 2 pin power. The onboard half height mini pcie port had USB functionality built in. When I disconnected the 2 pin power it functioned perfectly fine - damn literally 3 months of pulling my hair out
