I see in the install guide that the covers go with the keyboard modules when you take them off but there are no screw holes to secure them together. There threads to secure them to the pogo pin section though.
Did you remove the fasteners, or did it come like that?
Do you have any other keyboard modules? Could you post pictures if so? Or even pictures of your keyboard spacers.
That section is not supposed to come apart, or be disassembled. I can see that the bottom portion of that section is still magnetically connected to the position to the left of where the keyboard is currently.
The fasteners are the parts with the black trapezoids? I removed those but realized later I wasnât supposed to.
Now I canât get it to boot after replacing the WiFi card though.
Yes, those fasteners are part of the modules & are not supposed to be removed. The modules are magnetically attached, so you just pull them up from the bottom.
Need to know exactly how it responds. Screen, light around the fingerprint / power button, fan reaction, anything else. If there is nothing at all on the screen, then an led on the side should be blinking a code when you try to boot.
It powers on and gets into the firmware settings and goes to windows recovery options but local reinstall and all the other options doesnât help.
Iâm still not sure what you mean though. Is there an additional bit that letâs me screw the cover to module?
Afraid I donât know windows much.
No, as far as I see everything looks back together & ok with the keyboard in your last picture.
Hi,
There are lots of different step by step guides on how to do things like install/replace keyboard etc. They include videos of how to do it also.
For example here:
It is a good idea to follow the guides, because if you do things in the wrong order, it can break things.
The magnetic back to the keyboard and numpad got stuck to the pogo pin base. I reattached it to modules and itâs good now.
ones you removed, they are not supposto yes.
Black part is a piece you can use to grab on and pull the keyboard lose and same for numpad. That is why they are there, so you can remove keyboard and numpad alot easier 
Yes I put it all back together now
After I replaced the WiFi card though, it wonât boot windows anymore. Put the old one back in but still wouldnât boot. Any idea what I can do? Currently planning to remove the primary drive with my important data and install Windows on the secondary. Then put the primary back in because I need the files on it.
In whay way doesnât it boot your windows?
It went to the options for recovery, UEFI, repair, cmd every time without an error message. I tried the recovery options but none of them worked.
I installed Windows 10 but couldnât get the WiFi or Ethernet working, entered the same thing on W10 and there were recovery options I hadnât seen before. I picked it and it ended up fixing W11 on the other drive.
Good question.
When you installed new WiFi did you try reset bios to factory default?
No I did not but I saw on another thread here that the AX211 doesnât work on AMD platforms.
actually true,
but then you needed to have one without a special feature that requires only intel cpu. I saw some 1 have a intel wifi card with a amd cpu and it worked fine as long you didnât have required feature on wifi card that needs intel cpu. Forgot what it was exactly 
AX210 uses System Interface Type PCIe â PCIe is compatible with AMD
AX211 uses System Interface Type CNVio2 â CNVio2 is NOT compatible with AMD.
Thus a AX211 will not work in an AMD laptop.
The AX210 will work in an AMD laptop.

Ah, yeah! Those terrible CNVio2 cards!
Wish Framework didnât even sell them. Have to assume / hope that something in intelâs contract requires carrying their CNVio2 cards.
Same price, offers zero benefit, nothing but a problem for consumer. Especially on Frameworks, where changing your motherboard and CPU is so very easy. Flaming pile of proprietary intel garbage.
Same price:
Seems intel even has a newer incompatible version, CNVio3. Used on BE201 and BE401 wifi cards. They have no plans to stop clearly.
Got my hands on this. It seems compatible and is an older card.
Still afraid of the laptop not booting again after I replace the original. What steps do I need to take for it to go smoothly?
The 8265NGW is a PCIe card and not a CNVio2 card, so you should be ok with that one.
Putting a CNVio2 card in a PCIe card slot will not damage anything, the CNVio2 pins are simply not connected on the FW16 AMD 7040.

Yes itâs just that the hardware change to the CNVio card resulted in Windows not booting and I spent half a day fixing it. I donât want that to happen again. The only suggestion I saw that I think will help is to reset the BIOS settings to defaults but is that the only thing needed to be done?
