I got my Framework 16 in April 2024 and have always charged it through expansion slot 1. About a week ago I started getting the message
saying it could have limited functionality and to use another slot. This is similar to this topic Odd behaviour when charging with expansion slot 1 (Windows 11) which was not resolved.
I too have Windows 11. I too have swapped expansion cards around and so am certain it is the slot not the card.
Unlike in the above topic I have always had the same expansion cards in the same slots, and all slots filled. I am up to date with all Framework drivers and bios as far as I can tell.
I have tried swapping cards both with and without switching the computer on and off.
Anyone have any idea what is going on? It charges without messages in other slots.
All I could see which might be relevant was this 'Ports 1,2,4,5 are shared on a first come first serve basis. So they are 1.5A by default, but one port from any of these can negotiate 3A over PD. Once that is taken, the other ports are limited to 1.5A. ’ I have, and always had, my 1Tb storage in slot 5. Moving it to another slot, or leaving it out, doesn’t seem to have any effect though.
I am only using Framework supplied charger and cards.
Thanks, Mary
