During a 3.05 → 3.07 firmware update, started via the Ubuntu software updater, the screen of my Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen 7) went black. I waited four or five hours, did a hard shutdown by holding the power key, and then turned the laptop on again. Thankfully, the laptop booted normally, and `dmidecode` reported firmware version 3.07.

My issue is very similar to the ones reported a year ago, [here](https://community.frame.work/t/laptop-fails-to-start-after-bios-update-to-version-3-05-amd/49381) and [here](https://community.frame.work/t/laptop-fails-to-start-after-bios-update-to-version-3-05-amd/49381/14), for 3.03 → 3.05 updates. Many thanks to @Marcel_Birn and @Maksym_Vlasov for their reports and recommendations!

For more details, see the [firmware issue](https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/SoftwareFirmwareIssueTracker/issues/65) I just filed. I’m posting this as a warning to anyone else considering a firmware update.
