ESP32 Power Supply – Issues with Powering from External Source

If I connect my ESP32 board to my PC via USB and upload any code via the Arduino IDE, all works fine.

Even if I disconnect the USB cable, when I reconnect it, the ESP32 board restarts and works perfectly.

If I disconnect the USB cable and power the ESP32 board by means a reliable power source (https://www.tek.com/en/products/keithley/dc-power-supplies/2220-2230-2231-series) either from Vin (5V) or 3.3 V, the ESP32 board doesn't work in any way even though the onboard LED is ON.

In detail:

The ESP32 acts as a BLE server to which a BLE client is connected configured on another ESP32 board running under Home Assistant.

Powering via USB, the BLE server sends data to the BLE client on Home Assistant. When I disconnect the USB cable from the PC and connect the ESP32 to an external power source it stops sending data in any way.

Any idea?

    void setup() 
{
  Serial.begin(115200);
  pinMode(25,OUTPUT);

  Serial.println("Visualizza quanto trasmesso dal BLE Client a questo BLE Server: ");
 
  BLEDevice::init("MyESP32-Cosimo");
  BLEServer *pServer = BLEDevice::createServer();

  BLEService *pService = pServer->createService(SERVICE_UUID);

  BLECharacteristic *pCharacteristic = pService->createCharacteristic(
                                         CHARACTERISTIC_UUID,
                                         BLECharacteristic::PROPERTY_READ |
                                         BLECharacteristic::PROPERTY_WRITE
                                       );

  pCharacteristic->setCallbacks(new MyCallbacks());

  //pCharacteristic->setValue("Hello World");
  std::string value = "Hello World";
  pCharacteristic->setValue(value);
  pService->start();

  BLEAdvertising *pAdvertising = pServer->getAdvertising();
  pAdvertising->start();
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  delay(2000);
}
