Ground loop buzzing on FW16

Hi everyone,

Just bought a Framework 16 and am very happy with it. There is only one issue. When sliding my hand over the surface there is a buzzing feeling as long as the power adapter (Anker B2679 100w) is connected. This seems to be due to “ground loop”. Is this normal? Can I do anything about it?

Best regards

  • Which OS Debian?
  • Which release of your OS? Trixie
  • Which Framework product? Laptop 16, AMD 7040 Series

Edit: guess I need a 3 pin one, right?

Yes, a 3 pin charger, like the one FW supply, will not give you the buzzing sensation.
Not everyone can detect the buzzing.

Unfortunately the official one was sold out when I bought it ^^”

Best regards and thanks.
