My Framework 16 DIY Edition just arrived! I excitedly opened it up and installed a 2TB Samsung 990 Pro SSD and 64GB of 5600 DDR5 RAM from Crucial, replaced the metal plate, tightened all the screws, pressed down the [1] connector, attached the keyboard, touchpad and spacers, plugged it in, inserted …

[image] MarkRendle: Interesting, the guy in this video appears to install the exact same SKU of RAM that I have and he has no problem with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUoI3X_IfaI My FW16 has the same RAM which is what I’m using to type this out so your socket is probably damaged or s…

[image] MarkRendle: So, probably on Saturday, I will get the ridiculous magnifying eyeglasses and the needle-nosed pliers and I will try to install the new module. If you haven’t already, I suggest watching the video @A_Green posted. Starting at 50 seconds. [Wifi card how to] Pre…

That video show the older style, same type of connector, just bigger. The pictures is also of the older connector. It looks like that tool is for the older connector as well. Again. the connector looks nearly identical, just the new one is a bit smaller.

I didn’t say that it wasn’t U.FL. I didn’t remember the names off the top of my head, but I was saying that the video and the picture both appear to be the U.FL-LP-066 which is not used o newer devices anymore. If the tool specifies that it works with both, that is fine, like I said I did not rememb…

[image] Jeffrey_Parker: Also, no the U.FL-LP-040 connector is physically smaller and is not at all compatible with a U.FL-LP-066. The connector specifications that I just looked up very clearly show they are different sizes and I accidentally order the wrong pig tails recently and found that the…

That isn’t frameworks that’s normal. I’ve worked on two recent dells that friends have, and have the exact same design. The design is so that the cables don’t come off in your traditional manhandling of a laptop. And I feel for you in regards to having issues but realistically it’s not that hard if…

[u.fl connectors] These are both U.FL connectors. Are they the same? There is a third one between the two that I dealt with very recently when I got the wrong cables, but I don’t know where they are at the moment. EDIT: What I meant was there was at least one other size between the two, and all h…

[image] Jeffrey_Parker: ▶ "" These are both U.FL connectors. They are not both U.FL. Again, there are a number of connectors of the same general shape but in different sizes. Hirose defines U.FL as having a 2mm diameter receptacle. There are seller that will mislabel things.
