How's your soldering / wiring? Post up a pic and we'll let you know if it's something basic like a bad solder joint / partly broken wire.

May be an issue with flaky wiring to one of the pins on the motherboard that would never show in normal use.
Do not ask me questions via PM. Ask in the forums, where I'll answer if I can.

I had a similar issue at first with my devo 6s. but it had to do with a faulty a7105 module, more likely because I botched the job while I was scavenging it.

If I power off with one of these models selected, then there is a 30% chance to get a missing module message (every time it is the NRF)
This does not happen with model files build with any nightly.....my own SCP model files.
The A7105-D03 is not involved, even with old files e.g.. V911...
My 7e is working since one year without any troubles, though......

I don't think it is necessarily related to your soldering skills, but it maybe related to parasitic capacitances. In any case, it is not uncommon.
Is there some workaround I can try? Or should power cycling to reset everything while the capacitors are charged solve it?

other than that, I'm not sure how to debug. this has infuriated me because as soon as I install a logic analyzer, the issue goes away, so I can't actually debug.
you could also try using 'force=1' in the [modules] section of the hardware.ini.
That will prevent the modules from disabling even if they aren't detected. if communication still works, that would imply that the module detection doesn't work reliably.
