I recently purchased a Feather nRF52840 Sense for a school project and have been coding my project on it. Everything was going well until I soldered the Adafruit microSD SPI or SDIO board (using the correct pins with SPI) it no longer connected to my PC. I have a Feather M0 Adalogger and using the same cable and with the micro SD breakout board connected with pins (for testing), I'm able to upload sketches to my Adalogger but my Feather Sense no longer shows up in the lists of ports. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Arduino IDE's (.exe and windows store) and have had no luck so far.
One side note- I am able to double click the reset button on the board to pull up some files in file explorer (I don't know what these files are or what this function is supposed to do) So I am partially able to connect to the board, just not able to upload sketches.
All help is greatly appreciated!

I just discovered that double tapping the reset button puts the Feather in bootloader mode. And as clarification, the Feather does not show up on my PC in its standard mode and only in its bootloader mode.

it is probably due to the sketch application that hanged up. Try to upload with one of the known-good simple stock example to see if the Serial would come up in application mode.

Problem has partially been resolved, the school took the Feather board back so I am unable to use it.
