There is no bluetooth interface available on my RaspberryPi 3.
This is me executing the commands to some general information that might be relevant:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ bluetoothctl

[bluetooth]# power on
No default controller available
I reset the RPi and set it up fresh, but the problem persists. Is it maybe a hardware issue? As in - the Bluetooth chip is broken?
service bluetooth status
orjournalctl -u bluetooth
show any errors?
