[SOLVED] To much power draw on seemingly any USB Device

[Painted_Heptagon]

I have a 11th gen Framework Laptop and at some point recently Windows (10) started sending me notifications about a unknown usb device drawing too much power. I tested around a bit with my expansion cards (no other usb devices were plugged in) and this issues comes up when any card is plugged in at any port. I have a usb c, usb a, displayport and hdmi card.

Edit: I also tried connecting a USB hub directly which also resulted in the same notification.

2nd Edit: Now the notification showed up with just the power cable connected

HDMI and USB A are know to take power, try just with USBC for a while, there are lots of topics and posts on this, best do a search for more help and ideas.

Do a good search before you create another topic etc.

HDMI Module Power Drain Issue

Hi there, I received my framework laptop today and so far everything seems to work just fine. I am however curious about whether or not the Battery Drain issue caused by the HDMI module has been solved already, or if there is some sort of workaround, assuming it hasn’t been solved yet. I asked this same question on reddit and got told that this issue continues to persist due to the fact that the issue lies with the hdmi module rather than the laptop itself. They haven’t gone into much further …

Expansion card power drain

Though it may help to have list of the drain each expansion card uses. I will update this as I get new and more accurrate data. I noticed that as soon as plug in the mains two of my expansion cards ‘draw’ power, so it’s not happening when in hibernate only when connected and switched off. &microSD with no card > 1.5W 256 GB SSD < 0.5 These are taken from a power supply that only records watts so the figures although fairly accurate overall may not be proportionaly accurate. NOTE: I should …

[TRACKING] Test results for standby battery use of Expansion Cards

After first testing each expansion card’s power usage at runtime — part of my in-depth review — I have finally gone around doing a similar set of tests on standby. TL;DR: everything but USB-C take power, USB-A and DisplayPort take a lot more than they logically should. Here is a summary of those results. Device Wattage Amperage Days Note baseline 0.25W 16mA 9 sleep=deep nvme.noacpi=1 s2idle 0.29W 18.9mA ~7 sleep=s2idle nvme.noacpi=1 normal nvme 0.31W 20mA ~7 sleep=s2idle without…

I’d get in contact with support if you haven’t already, I’m sure they’d be happy to help troubleshoot this (just know that responses may be a little slow since they are responding to a lot of questions about the new announcements right now)

After contacting the support and trying a lot of different things it seems like fully resetting the mainboard state fixed this issue (Link to the guide: Fully Resetting the Mainboard State - Framework Guides)
