BA228 BWI-LHR last night - odd routing and delay?

Hello

My wife was on the 2hr ground delayed BA228 (G-ZBJD) on 12 April (landed 13 April). Apparently plane had a technical issue then they flew a longer (looks like non-ETOPS) flight path hence the extra delay due to longer flight time. Only 2 1/2hr overall delay so
only asking out of curiosity.

Does anyone know what was wrong with the aircraft? Seems odd that it was announced maintenance had “fixed” it then it flew non-ETOPS?

Aircraft didn’t fly today (13 April), next due to go to Hyderabad tomorrow, 14 April.

Thanks for any insights,

TFC
