Unable to power down FW13

Community Support

I’m trying to replace my mainboard but the red LEDs keep flashing, indicating the laptop is still on. I’ve tried the normal shutdown command (Start->Power->Shutdown) and forcing a hard power off (holding power for 8s (or 12 or 20ish)) but the red LEDs won’t stop.

Windows 10
FW13 1135g7
Bios 3.19

Is there a hard(er) power off option that I’m missing?

They indicate the chassis intrusion detection switch is active/no input cover is installed.

Its more a safety to let you know the mainboard has power. You can safely proceed to disconnect the battery as per Step 7 Mainboard Replacement Guide - Framework Guides
