So, I've went through many posts of setting up bluetooth for either Pi Zero W or Pi 3. None of them worked out for me.
This is how far I've gotten:
1)

mgjo5899@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl start hciuart.service
Job for hciuart.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status hciuart.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
I saw some posts with people saying they exchanged to new Pi Zero W and they worked out well. Am I supposed to ask for an exchange as well? Is that the only solution?
