Thank you so much for the followup. Much appreciated.

will it get bach old PPT?
I updated the keyboard to 0.3.1 using the instructions, but it doesn’t seem to actually fix the issue.
I can close the lid, and press it down a bit, and it wakes up from suspend. Not good.
Surely this isn’t the expected behaviour?
Further, I updated to 4.01 BIOS and there is no update to 4.02 available from fwupdmgr.
Hola
I need the community’s help - For this keyboard update to 0.3.1, how can I verify that the update completed successfully? And where can I see the current version of the keyboard firmware, I checked the installation guide webpage but I don’t see any mention of this.
Thanks.
I asked this same question 25 days ago. Here you are:

On my system, the frequency drop usually lasts for a minute or two (sometimes more), and then recovers.
I don’t know whether @TechPriestNhyk simply hasn’t waited long enough for the issue to clear itself before rebooting, or there’s multiple issues with the PMF that happen to have similar symptoms
Since 4.02 my Dell Monitor will no longer supply enough power to charge my laptop during normal use. It outputs 90W USB-C PD. Now during the same usage the battery slowly discharges.
Has anyone else had similar issue?

When I had the 544mhz bug I only messed with it for a minute or two before rolling back my BIOS.
Having since returned to 4.02, I still get the performance drop issue (though, this is just a general performance drop rather than the specific all cores to 544) and have spent a lot of time trying to track down exactly what the issue is, but I have not figured it out so far.
I suspect the newer BIOS pull a lot more power through the CPU for the same workload because my temps are drastically higher under this bios update.

It does seem to be running hotter to be honest. My colleagues have commented on the fan noise.
Anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes.
I think I solved it, I had the iGPU set to Gaming in the BIOS and the Adrenaline set to Hybrid instead of Smart to resolve some previous issues that are no longer present.
Running a lot quieter and not using as much juice.

I believe mine is also set to gaming. Can you clarify what issues specifically went away when you went to the other mode?
if i remember rightly it was to fix an issue during Windows loading where the screen would black out (although the system was still running in the background and would respond to inputs)
After a few weeks of testing, two issues are present on my machine:
- If I disconnect the charger (240W Delta) the laptop stays in a TDP-limited state until reboot.
I’m talking agout ~3GHz lock, max 20W or so. - If I play some intensive game in “max performance” mode, even with 240W, the battery discharges.

Not related to this update, but the FW 16 not being able to properly communicate with thunderbolt 5 docks with TB5/USB4 80gbps cables needs to be looked at. TB5 docks are entirely usable on TB3/4 cables so not sure if the firmware is able to recognize the options and complete the handshake
Where is this information coming from? I have a FW16 with 7040 and a tb5 dock that works perfectly fine.

Slightly unrelated question. Why it reports 2 lanes? Aren’t USB4’s 40 Gb/s translate to 4 lanes of PCIe 3.0?
TH5P4 thunderbolt 5 eGPU dock is only working via TB4 and TB3 cables using my framework 16 7840. I have tried 2 TB5 cables, 2 TB4, and 2 TB3, 2 USB4 80gbs and 1 40gbs. admittedly the 40gbps USB 4 is a razer one that’s been known to be not very reliable so ruling that out. The rest of the cables are the 1 TB5 cable supplied with the dock, a Cable matters TB5, Caldigit TB3, Anker TB3, Cable matters 6.6ft active TB4, Cable Matter TB4 3.3ft, and 2 Ugreen USB 4 80gbps.
All these cables work with my HP elitebook TB4 work laptop. The framework experiences constant disconnect and reconnect similar to the iPhone USB C to USB C issue in terms of behavior being seen if I’m not using the listed TB3 and TB4 cables. Based off my own research and posting in USBC hardware there is likely a communication issue in negotiations of the data being accepted by the framework. I don’t have any other thunderbolt 5 docks to perform further testing so this is where I’m at. This isn’t a issue on another laptop with the same dock which leads me to believing my framework has issues with performing this handshake, or is most likely a firmware issue. Here’s a Link to the Reddit post I made on USB C hardware so you can see what one of the responses were
But it is working fine with those?
I ordered one cause it looked almost perfect even if I can’t use the full tb5 speeds it should at least let me use full usb4 like the asmedia controller could but with PD and downstream usb4.
Well let’s hope we’ll get a fixed pd controller firmware eventually, man I wish that thing was open source, it seems to be involved in so many issues.
Been working with support, we have done a bunch of steps and have found that I have been able to replicate it actually working, and using a 240w alongside the TB5 cable actually makes it work.
we know the laptop will choose the highest power possible to charge, which makes it not even attempt Be charged by the dock and will complete the handshake. Super funky! I didn’t think it try it sooner but they wanted me to try a power cable without the expansion cards and I just said why not since even when the laptop is off, the dock will power cycle and I noticed it with the charging light. So supplemental power is all that was needed. Unsure if it will matter if the dGPU is removed or not or if there’s a conflict but the issue is still reminiscent of the USBC TO USBC iPhone issue still
