Hey everybody, i hope you doing well.

I just assembled my new Batch 7 Framework Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series).  
I thought i could pimp it up a little bit and use another SSD and Ram.

- Samsung 990 PRO M.2 PCIe 4.0 3D-NAND TLC (MZ-V9P2TOBW)  
and
- 32GB (2x 16GB) Kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM CL40-40-40

After assembling everything and turning it on the display stays black but the laptop is definitely on an running.  
I read that the ram needs to be calibrated at first Boot.  
I waited for a couple of hours but nothing happend. I swaped the RAM, tried to use only one slot but still the display stays black.

Not sure what else to do.

Thanks for any advice.

I believe that the screen should turn on, even without RAM. Have you checked the cable from the monitor to the mainboard?

Thanks for the reply.  
I just looked and it seems fine.  
I’ve just read some reddit posts where people had the same issue and it was connected to the ram.

I’ve switched to two ADATA 16GB DDR5-5600 (AD5S560016G) modules, and now it works.
