Warranty replacement mainboard died quickly and has no warranty :-(

Well… The following was their reply, I repost it here to prevent false hopes and disappointments, and to take little bit off their workload from support.

Thank you for reaching out, I appreciate your interest in accessing the full schematics and your reasoning behind requesting it here, however I’m afraid that we are not able to provide schematics under NDA to individuals, at present we can provide schematics to repair centers through an approval and NDA process. There are a number of reasons why opening up schematic access to individuals is not practically possible though I’m not at liberty to discuss these, I hope you understand.

Please understand that self repair is at the heart of our mission at Framework, so please understand these conversations and efforts are ongoing with our various manufacturing partners.

Strongest reason, I guess, is protecting some intellectual property of their suppliers.
I hope they find a way to give us complete information.

It’s going to be a process slowly getting better quality schematics unfortunately. What sucks currently is that there is basically nothing for the power system other than the block diagrams and power rail ordering. Considering it’s a bunch of IC it’s going to be a bit interesting. Pinouts can probably be found in external datasheets and other leaked schematics from larger companies.

It’s unfortunate I can find better schematics for competing products on the internet. I hope that they provide more of what they can of the full schematics if possible at minimum.

On the way. Step one: find out what’s there.

Researching the datasheets will be easier than identifying the SMDs, I’m sure. And if this board is not salvageable, the results will still make a useful post or GitHub PR to the unofficial specs repo.
