And previous batches are also affected by this issue (although not as prevailing as in batch 4). Still I’m curious what could go wrong with such a widely used connector.
This issue also makes you wonder how good their QC processes are. Did they even test these input cover boards with the connected cables? Seems like they could have caught this much sooner.
For me, too. The lower left corner of the bezel wouldn’t stay down, and there was a horrible clicking noise when I opened the lid. I had to unscrew the input cover and take the bezel off–at which point I discovered that one of the cables near the hinge on that side was out of its guide. After I tucked it in, the bezel sat flush, and it’s been fine (and quiet) ever since.
By “factory side” I meant the side of the input cover ribbon cable that comes pre-attached from the factory. I am doubtful of consumer error due to the end the guide has you plugin being a plug, which doesn’t allow too much room for user error (I am sure I plugged it in right side up).
Ordered on June 12th still waiting to get charged
Hopefully soon!
Edit: Was my own fault, I hadn’t updated my billing address since I moved
Just a data point:
Mine (MB kit) arrived yesterday (to Canada) w/ fw 3.02. After upgrading it using the uefi shell, ubuntu 23.10 works without any issues
Me Framwork 13 is still waiting for customs clearing in Paris… Well, it is still weekend…
Mine made it to the UK this morning and is now moving around inside the UK so it must have cleared customs. The arrival estimate is still Wednesday, though!
Same here, Wednesday delivery estimate but it entered the UK this morning and now it’s only a couple hours drive away😭
Hi, mine arrived to Ireland from TW. Expected delivery on Wednesday.
Mine has just left a facility round the corner and is “On FedEx vehicle for delivery” but the delivery estimate is still Wednesday!
My framework was delivered just now (France, next to Paris for information), a day early to my neighbour. Will have to wait the end of the day to get it. Right on my birthday, perfect timing!!!
It just got delivered, one day early, to NL.
Can’t wait te find out if / which of the currently known issues I am blessed with.
Will it be the molten connector, broken WiFi or powerbutton?
Bon anniversaire !!
Mine is still in La Courneuve, can’t wait… And some batch 5 folks have already theirs. It’s testing my patience and jealousy
Mine arrived today, one day early in NL. Luckily I had my home-office day due to bad weather.
Question:
In the BIOS, is the mouse/ touchpad supposed to work?
Because on the main screen there is a scrollbar, and I could not find out how to scroll down.
No mouse in the Framework UEFI. I hope they change this one of these days.
It’s here! Now I just need to finish my work day so I can get to assembling it!
Thank you so much!!!
I’m rooting for you to get it asap!!!
IT GOT DELIVERED THIS MORNING
Still waiting on RAM and SSD from Amazon unfortunately
Mine came this morning too (UK)!
Assembly was pretty smooth. I just had some trouble with the bottom-right corner of the bezel not going fully down, but it seems to have sorted itself out. And there’s also a very slight gap between the body and input cover in the top right corner, but it’s not a big deal. I might take it apart again though to see if I can improve it.
Otherwise, I’m in love with it! It’s so much nicer in person than in pictures.
