[SOLVED] FW13 AMD 7040u Mainboard dead-on-arrival?

Hi there!
Trying (and struggling) with my first Framework.
I tried to complete DYI my FW13 (from scratch).
And my mainboard not posting.
Powering on, wheeling a fan.
But no post. Waited 30 minutes for memory training for a case.

Tried put it into the CoolerMaster case - same behavior.
LEDs is blinking ‘red-blue-red-blue’ and so on.

Framework Laptop 13 Mainboard (AMD Ryzen™ 7040 Series) - Ryzen™ 7 7840U
Various Crucial DDR5 5600 SO-DIMMs

Any ideas? POST codes manual is a thing?

Okay. Much fun of debugging later.

  1. Red-Blue LED - is indication of unplugged battery
  2. Mainboard will no start without SW3 pressed
  3. BE200 WiFi Adapter seems incompatible with the AMD 7840u mainboard. With AX210 system is posting.
