I second this. My wife just got his framework laptop I convinced her to buy… no wifi, bundle didn’t install. You should update the documentation as quick as possible.
It was updated yesterday.
I too would like to know whether there is meant to be some indicator, even when the lid is shut, that the machine is sleeping. One does want that feature - even, ahem, when machines can suspend without problems - and thus it is not for nothing that various laptops have the feature. Even recent ThinkPads (to my knowledge) lazily blink their light (which, sensibly, is on the top of the lid) when they are ‘sleeping’.
EDIT: The F-13 does have - in addition to the glowing power button - a little power light on its ‘modules’ and when the machine is on the light on the connector containing the power cord is illuminated. Is that little light meant to be different when the machine is sleeping?
In the past the power button visibky blinked when on sleep. Currently mine doesn’t. Does your’s blink while shut? (You can see it from the side).
The side LEDs are for power indicators only it seems.
There is a limit to how much a button that has a lid over it can blink. But it does not seem to be blinking now, and my laptop lid is closed. However . . (sarcastic drum-roll), I am unsure that laptop is sleeping. I could test that via battery drain. Actually: come to think of it, I wrote a script that reports upon sleeps. So . . the script reports that the computer was asleep. That is good. The reason I worried was that some days ago the lid had been closed for a long-ish time and suddently the fans started going loudly. (Since then, I’ve updated the Linux firmware. There’s no guarantee that that will have fixed the problem, though.)
EDIT: but the commonest problem-to-do-with-sleep that people report on this forum is, I think, not that the thing doesn’t sleep at all, but that it wakes up at the drop of a hat.
The side LEDs are for power indicators only it seems.
Right. Thanks.
If I upgraded to W11 24H2 from W11 23H2 do I need to install this? My drivers are current but my install is not “new.”
My understanding is that Windows does not update the Firmware. Given they wrecked everyone’s duel boot UEFI the other month when they tried, this is a good thing.
It’s safe to install the firmware upgrade. It’ll either upgrade or do nothing, either of which is OK 
Hello People!
Interested in knowing if anybody has gotten issues after updating their BIOS on their AMD FW13s?
Looking to pick up one and wanted to hear from you guys if you got help from support.
Thanks in advance!
Moved to BIOS thread where issues would be reported.
This link does not work on Chrome for some reason. I was able to download the .exe through Firefox, however I am unable to run it on my device (Framework 13 w/ the Ryzen 5 7640U). Windows throws an error saying “This app can’t run on your PC”.
You can run a live cd of linux, fedora or ubuntu for example and upgrade firmware from it.
I installed the Win11 partition after my normal Manjaro build though. I didn’t have any of these issues on my Manjaro install, so maybe that was the issue.
I wiped the drive and reinstalled Win11 alone and I’m still running into the same issues. Win11 complains that the driver bundle is from an “unknown publisher” and when I tell it to run anyway it says that “this app can’t run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher.”
Before someone asks, I am using what Framework has marked for Win11 via the official link.
As far as I can see the file name should be: Framework_Laptop_13_and_16_AMD_Ryzen_7040_driver_bundle_W11_2024_10_02.exe
Size should be: 881,108,072 bytes
To check the SHA256 I use Multihasher: MultiHasher · abelhadigital.com
The file I’m able to download is barely a fraction of the size you have reported here.
71,717,172 bytes
Windows sha256:
certUtil -hashfile C:\file.img SHA256
Linux sha256:
sha256sum file.img

Ah. Much easier. Thanks.
It’s strange, somebody else is experiencing the same download truncation, at the same byte count…
I think it’s most likely a problem with part of Cloudflare’s caches. The right person at Framework should be able to flush the Cloudflare cache to fix it, and also perhaps set Cloudflare not to cache for so long, so that any future problems will clear themselves in a reasonable time.
A workaround might be to use a VPN to download via somewhere quite far away from your real location, so that it comes from a different part of Cloudflare’s local caching.
@TheTRUEAsian Do you know which member of your team will be able to fix this on Cloudflare? Please could you ask them to do it?
