Updating to BIOS JFP30.03.16, it started well, until a black (but backlit) screen stayed while the laptop was ventilating as if I was playing Hollow Knight.

Weird, but I decided to let it sit at first… and started to worry after about an hour…  
Then, seeing no other solution, I forced shutdown by pressing the power button for 10 seconds.

When I turned it back on, the update resumed as if nothing had ever happened : The Framework name, the logo showing the progression, and the successful steps in a corner.

Am I the only one having experienced this ?

Tech specs :

Framework Laptop 13, AMD Ryzen 7040 Series  
CPU : 7840u  
Graphics : Radeon 780M  
OS : Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS

I don’t remember the previous BIOS version, but I think it ended with .07 (early 2025 ?)
