Troubleshooting • NVME problems with PI 5 8GB

fist of all I really enjoy the raspberry pi 5 (8GB).

When I first got my Raspberry Pi, I tried the Pimoroni NVMe Base HAT with an NVMe I had lying around. Everything worked perfectly at first, and I had no issues. However, after a while, I suddenly couldn't connect to my Wi-Fi anymore. Resetting, switching to 2.4GHz, and other attempts didn’t help. I couldn’t even see my network. When I connected the Pi via LAN, I at least had a working network connection. I then tried using a USB Wi-Fi dongle, and it worked fine at first, but eventually, I ran into the same issue – I couldn’t connect to Wi-Fi, and then I also lost the LAN connection. I tried different ports on the router and changed the LAN cable, but nothing worked.

Eventually, I unplugged the Pimoroni NVMe Base HAT and reinstalled the OS, and everything worked fine with the OS on the SD card. Today, I received the official NVMe HAT and a 512GB NVMe, but this time, the NVMe isn’t being recognized at all.

When I activate the pcie3 the network is becoming really really slow... VNC building the picture pixel row by pixel row. So a wild guess is that I have somehow got an hardware issue. Does anyone have ideas how I can get a working nvme with my pi? Many many thanks in advance!
