Framework is addressing a BIOS update that bricked some of its older laptops and will replace in- and out-of-warranty 7040-series mainboards confirmed affected.

Framework owners of Laptop 13 7040-series reported a BIOS update failure. The company pledges to replace the affected 7040 mainboards to restore their machines.

Repairability and support are reasons many choose a Framework laptop. This matters to existing owners and to the company's reputation for standing behind its hardware.
