@Kieran_Levin, could this be related to the MOSFET thingy / issue we had with the 11th gen board…that was then patched in BIOS? Remotely related? History: [USB-PD 15V mode issue](http://community.frame.work/t/usb-pd-15v-mode-issue/10618) Specifically, this post: > [@USB-PD 15V mode issue](http://community.frame.work/t/usb-pd-15v-mode-issue/10618/15): > > FYI we traced this issue to an alternate source FET in the charging circuit. When the input voltage and battery voltage are very close to each other, the charger will operate in buck boost mode, and when this happens with the alternate source FET, the charger cannot fully switch the high current FET on and off, which causes the low input current that is observed. If you are running into this issue, use a 20V charger, or a 12V charger. We recommend a 20V 60W+ charger to get the best performance … --- _[View the full topic](https://community.frame.work/t/framework-motherboard-drawing-insufficient-power/22708)._
