Try downgrading your kernel version and see if it works.

It did not.
Downgraded from 5.4.164-1 to 4.19.220-1. I can't try upgrading to 5.10.x because it only boots to black screen.

Try to reboot it and see if the black screen continues.

Yeah, 5.10.84-1 boots to a black screen, some nVidia issue from what I can tell. However, just tried 5.14.21-2 just to see if it would boot and it does. Sadly, still get the br-connection-canceled error when trying to connect bluetooth, and can't pair as a new device.

Run this command in terminal to get your bluetooth chipset name: lsusb | grep -i bluetooth

Paste here the result.

I tried following instructions for changing from pulseaudio to pipewire, which also did not work for me. So then I thought why not change back to pulseaudio and start the bluetooth troubleshooting all over.

Now I don't have bluetooth connecting but get the error

Did you have bluetooth working before you made changes? Because if not it could be kernel related. You should ask about this on Manjaro forum and one of their team members might help you out with this.

It was working before, I'll do that and check out the Manjaro forum. Thank you again for so much help!
