I think I have recieved my second DOA system in a row. Are there any quality issues with the AMD laptops? Or do I just have bad luck?
A while ago I got my first DIY Framework 13 with AMD processor. After a bunch of testing I had to return the laptop as it did not start.
After pressing the power button the fan would spin for a second and nothing would happen. Nothing on the screen, no signal on hdmi. After a little while the debug leds would flash, all green for the hardware. The laptop would just sit there and get a little warm.
Framework never reported what the issue was.
Yesterday I built the second laptop and ran into similair problems. After pressing the power button nothing happens. Nothing on the screen, no signal on hdmi. Then the debug leds flash green for the hardware. After a while the fan starts spinning real fast! Then it slows down and starts spinning fast again. This loop of spinning fast and slow just keeps on going.
The m2 drive I am using works, I have tested this on my desktop.
For the first laptop I used Kingston memory, for the second G.Skill. Both memory kits are 32 GB and on the list of approved models.
