Sorry to hear that. Do you have an external display that you can connect to see if it shows anything? Otherwise, this article: [My Framework Laptop (Intel 11th Gen Intel® Core™) is not powering on](https://knowledgebase.frame.work/my-laptop-is-not-powering-on-ryQLXvQkt) will help you understand the initial set of codes. There’s a link at the end of the page that discusses resetting the mainboard. If you do so, be careful with the RTC battery, the holder is extremely fragile. ---

Waiting for the rework v2 to hopefully fix this “not power on” symptom: > [@Rework Instructions for 11th Gen Mainboards to enable powering the RTC circuit from the main battery](http://community.frame.work/t/rework-instructions-for-11th-gen-mainboards-to-enable-rtc-battery-charging-from-the-main-battery/26922/40): > > Extending upon this plan: [image] ---

After I pressed the power button , it turned off by itself in about 20 seconds . The screen was black throughout the process . I recorded a video of the process .

Every weekend, I try to turn on my laptop, and it refuses to do anything. Some mixture of removing parts like the SSD, RAM, or WiFi card seemed for a while to help, but every time, I would still need to plug in the laptop. After contacting support, they said that the RTC battery was likely dead, and to leave the laptop charging for 24 hours for the RTC battery to recharge. The battery is rated for 3V, but after charging fo… There are various symptoms to this. What you’re experiencing is one of the symptoms. Could your symptom be caused by something else? Sure. But you need to eliminate the most likely cause first…then go from there, to less likely causes (elimination tactic).
