There seems to be a problem with the bluetooth driver which does not detect/connect to any surrounding bluetooth devices. I have Windows on another partition and i can access bluetooth on there.
As can be seen in the output logs below - there seems to be problem - : [13696.202909] bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for brcm/BCM43142A0-105b-e065.hcd failed with error -2 [13696.202917] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: Patch brcm/BCM43142A0-105b-e065.hcd not found
I tried few other solutions - Ubuntu 20.04 bluetooth not working and also uninstalling, reinstalling, upgrading blueman but had no luck.

It will be very helpful if someone helps me out in resolving this issue. I will be happy to paste more logs if needed :)
Thanks in Advance.
