To keep ramping up production, we’ve switched to a different audio CODEC (the chip driving the speakers, headphones, and microphones) for Framework Laptops shipping starting late October.
First, for some background, the last ei…
We build and thoroughly test on the order of a couple hundred laptops during design, development, and manufacturing bring-up before we start shipping out to customers, but it’s inevitable as we ramp up production that we find new issues after systems land in your hands. There is a standard process in consumer electronics for this called “Early Field Failure Analysis” or EFFA. With this, we take back every system or module we can that has an issue or failure early-on to determine both why it ha…

We’ve seen a couple of reports of folks who have had Touchpad Cables short out on early Framework Laptops (Batch 1 and part of Batch 2), which is most likely caused by it being slightly pulled out or out of alignment on the Touchpad end. We’re making a design change to prevent this from happening (actually, we had made the c…
