@Stephen_Manis What operation system are you using?
By default windows has an option called “fast startup” enabled, that does not really turn the laptop off, even when shutting it down.
To check right click on the battery icon in the system tray → “power options” → “choose what the power options do” and on the bottom should be a checkbox "Turn on fast start-up (recommended)
I dont have a framework (yet, waiting for Batch 2) and i am not reading this forum for too long, so i dont know, what effect this setting even has on the framework… but maybe there is a chance
@Simon_F I’m running Linux (Fedora 36). Regardless, I’m done here. I’m selling off my Framework laptop and cutting my losses. I need a machine that’s ready to go when I pull it out of its bag.
@nrp Will you please delete my Framework account and any personal information stored on your systems? I don’t want to receive any further emails from this forum. Your site doesn’t allow me to remove my email address from my account.
Is there a bios option to keep any usb port running for power delivery?
Havent seen it in the original bios guide, but maybe it is outdated.
My last guess would be to enter the bios → Exit → load optimal defaults.
Dont know how that could help, but on each bios update of my current laptop, it gets recommended.
Is this something that isn’t happening on the 12th gen laptops? The battery drain during power-off. I couldn’t find anything new about the expansion slot issue. But the latest LTT video mentioned that that should be fixed?
Maybe I misunderstood the problem. I thought the main battery was loosing charge during power-off. I didn’t notice it was about the CMOS battery. And since it is replaceable, it is not that much of an issue. Still, it’s wasteful.
At this point, all we know for sure is that more and more people will continue to run into various forms for “Can’t power / boot up” and / or “Main battery drain” issues…until they’re all fixed. It’s just a matter of time before one would experience it themself.
BIOS release note states that “main battery drain during off state” (symptom) was fixed…but it seems like it ‘fixed’ one of the causes…but not all the causes. So the symptom is still showing up.
haha…anything that could go wrong, would eventually go wrong when given enough time. Or, as the Chinese say, if you go up to the mountain enough time, you’ll eventually come across a tiger.
In 3.09 Beta:
“Reduce main battery drain in off state by turning off analog reference in charger IC.”
Now, given the wording of “reduce” and not “eliminiate”…is a drain of 27% of the main battery over 8 days the expected behaviour for BIOS 3.10? (e.g. It was really bad before 3.09…and now…not as bad?)
I didn’t know this issue wasn’t fixable. I’m probably going to have to get rid of mine too. I often leave my laptop powered down for 3-4 days at a time and when I try and turn it back on, it won’t boot up unless I plug it into the wall. Never had that issue with any other laptop.
I’m quite shocked to read this. I was expecting a laptop, not a desktop. Coming from Mac Hardware this is a thing I didn’t expect at all from the framework.
In fact I have my old MacBook Air 2015 also runnin on Fedora 36 which outperforms the framework in both sleeping and off power consumption.
Getting the feeling my choice of buying the framework was wrong.
Hello, is there any advantage to updating to Bios 3.10?
When I try on my Windows 10 Home install it says “The BIOS image to be updated is invalid for Secure Flash or onboard BIOS does not support Secure Flash.” I’ve tried changing Secure Boot settings a few time with no luck.
