Thank you. Can I ask how many seconds the power button needs to be held down for to turn the machine on and off please?
Thanks.
From powered off, I donāt have an exact, but a firm press for a fraction of a second and release works.
From BIOS a quick press turns it right off.
You should contact support to get the # of seconds if the machine is hard locked. Usually something like 7-10 seconds to force-power off.
EDIT: I actually found it The Framework Laptop's Embedded Controller (EC) :: HowettNET looking at other stuff.
Holding the onboard power button for 10 seconds will force a battery disconnect.
Holding the fingerprint power button for 20 seconds will force an EC chip reset.

Okay. Thank you. Are there two different on/off buttons then?
Iām a bit confused by that as well, but pretty sure itās really the same single power button.

From reading that it could mean you specifically need to use the power button on the mainboard to do the battery disconnect thing.
Could anyone share the BIOS key strokes in a similar fashion to those described by Felix above to turn on stand-alone mode please in accordance with this advice;
Thank you!
If youāre using Linux for your host OS you can use the āefibootmgrā tool to manipulate the boot order instead of having to go into the bios.
Thank you. The boot order is another issue Iād like to deal with, but the greater priority at present is the stand-alone mode so I can test RAM without rescrewing the midplate first.
Iāll be using windows 11 and running linux from a virtual machine.
