Only works without reset pin on fake bluepil #525

This is on a probably fake bluepil, but it looks very real. I also have a real one (from what I can see lol) and that works fine.

I was receiving the "Starting LoRa failed!" message, but was quickly running out of debuging options.

When suddenly, my reset wire broke (On the transceiver side, right before the solder point), and... it started working. I tried connecting them again, and yes it stopped working again.

The problem is that with the reset pin connected the spi connection only returns 0s.

Are there any negatives to running without reset pin? Do you have any ideas why it would only work without the reset being connected? I have not yet tried to communicate, but that's for another day.

Maybe official support could be added for this specific board once it is known what the issue is.
