For the FW13’s uncoated anodized aluminum, you could send the stripped-down input cover to a service that can spray a thin coat of silicone on the top (but not the bottom that has all the tiny screw holes!). Search for “silicone conformal coating service.” It’s non-conductive and is normally meant for PCBs but can be done on metal parts too. They can also spray other coatings such as epoxy or acrylic.
Epoxy is very tough and will last a long time, but you will have a hard time removing it later too. Silicone can at least be removed with solvents or a heat gun.
Thanks for these details @dchang ![]()
Great solutions.
In Denmark there are no services like this for private customers, only industrial service.
Moreover, I think I wouldn’t take the risk.
But… I would buy it if Framework offered a service like this included in their waranty.
If not I would wait for this service before I buy…
…another strong argument for me would be if Framework offered the Laptops 13&16 with ARM architecture. ![]()
