My framework 16 seems to have bricked itself almost exactly 1 year after purchase. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I tried external monitor/keyboard and nothing works, it seems to be a dead mainboard/ram. I am confused as to how this could occur as I didn’t make any changes to the framework 16, it just suddenly stopped working.
I don’t want to buy a new mainboard so close to the new mainboard launch, but I can’t figure out another possibility as to what is wrong. I am assuming these shouldn’t spontaneously die after just 1 year though? That seems kind of ridiculous.
The mouse that was connected to the laptop also appears to have been bricked regardless of what computer it is connected to. The motion still works, but left/right click and all side buttons no longer register.
I would contact support. Since you are so close to the warrantee end, they may still help you. At a minimum, it would not surprise me if they tried some troubleshooting steps with you.
@rn1234 it does seem that there was an ‘event’ that may have triggered this. Sometimes with electronics these things happen. Could have been internal or external - and can be challenging to troubleshoot.
