Hi, Framework 16, Batch 4. My USB A also stopped working and the easiest fix was to remove and re-insert it. I am kind of sad how many issues are occurring with the framework. It is much more involved to use and care for this brand than I anticipated. You’d think proprietary hardware would work much better and after so long.
