Wait what, i got the exact same thing here! What`s the foam thing? First time i hear of this behavior…
It’s actually possible I moved some foam around as i just did a clean of the insides today to diagnose a touchpad issue ([RESPONDED] Spurious clicks while using touch pad - #7 by anarcat), but i can’t tell what foam we’re talking about here… where can i read more about this?
update: i found this explanation, [SOLVED] Constant Red Blinking Lights when Powered On - #2 by Morpheus636. i can confirm that pushing on the little tab by hand turns off the flashing led, so it looks like i somehow moved the pad in my operations! taking the pad off and aligning it again with the engraving in the metal sheet fixed it!
also, shout out to the framework team for pushing out a BIOS release so far away from the hardware release date of that platform, with LVFS support, even. That’s pretty amazing, don’t listen to the naysayers, you rock.
