Hello I already went through framework support for this and they were not able to give me any solution, but I figured I could write about it to see if anyone else has this issues. In my talk to support they said they are working on a firmware update to fix this so I hope it gets resolved. I have a…

[image] henrytr: I tried changing the cord to another USB-C cable (rated for 140W) and it charges just fine what cable/cord is that?

I think a cable rated 140W is useless, either 100W or PD3.1 EPR supported then all the way to 240W.

[image] A call on 240w adapter Framework Laptop 16 well since framework is not making 240w adapter. I am seeking external support. I have contacted a factory that would develop and produce the 240w PD adapter. but I need people to join me to cover the R&D cost. Ideally, th…

Thank you for the extremely detailed break down of what’s wrong here, if you find a power bank that can charge the laptop at 140w or higher please post in here.

For what it’s worth I too tried the Anker 737 with a 140 cable and it didn’t work, with the known clicking sound. When I turned the laptop off though it charged it up really fast (used up over 70% of the powerbanks charge). So looks like something to do when the laptop uses power/works while being c…

For giggles, I reached out to Anker support via Amazon and asked about this. This was their response. It is highly likely that the issue is related to the charging protocol. To achieve a charging power of 140W, both the cable and your laptop need to support PD3.1, which means they should support 2…

I’m another one affected by the Anker 737 not charging, with the same caveats: tried multiple cables rated up to 240W, including the original one, trickle mode makes it work but on 100W only. Another bit of information I haven’t see in the thread would be Linux kernel logs, one of two pops up: ucs…
