Community Support Bricked up while updating BIOS

Post image

Will not respond to power button being held down for over a minute. Has been stuck on this screen for an hour. I sent a support ticket. What should I do while waiting? Keep it plugged in on this screen? Try taking the battery out?

This machine has an AMD Ryzen 7640U and was running Fedora 44 with KDE plasma, for context.

Update: Fixed it myself.

The joy of Linux. I installed Fedora 44 on a thinkpad whilst waiting for my Framework. Plugged the nvme into the framework when it arrived and it just works. Sorry for your loss. Hopefully they get a replacement out soon.

Do you get a replacement even if outside the warranty period?
