(Part 2) Is my ESP32CAM defective 😬

After exhausting all the suggested modifications to get the Esp32cam to work, the only way I can successfully get the Mayhem esp32cam apps to work for me is by hitting the reset button on the esp32cam after it has started to boot. If the new boards I ordered (from a different source) end up having the same problem, then I will have to redesign the board for easier access to the reset button I guess lol.
