Laptop 16 AMD Ryzen 7040 BIOS 3.04 BETA Release

Right. I guess I mean I was surprised to see that the issue hasn’t been resolved by now.

BIOS 3.04 seems to have regressed ito ability to charging over 3.02.
I used to be able to charge my notebook on a 25W PD charger before. It would charge slowly during use, but it would charge. This was on the 3.02 BIOS.

Now it says that the charger isn’t powerful enough and doesn’t try to charge.
If you then suspend the notebook before plugging in the 180W charger, it doesn’t charge.
When it wakes up it still refuses to charge.

If you then unplug the 180W charger, and then plug it back in again it starts to charge.

It seems that if it’s in an error state, it won’t recover until the OS is running and you unplug-re-plug the charger in.

Any update? It’s been over two months now since the last official communication about this.

Any additional issues identified we can help test in order to get the GA version release speeded up?

I’ve not noticed any new issues that are specific to these BIOS. My issues stem from newer linux kernels acting wonky with USB C cable detection and inserting the framework DP card.
