Framework Laptop: Looking for Lithium Ion Battery Removal/Replacement Safety Tips

Thu, 14 Nov 2024 12:51:27 -0700

I'm doing a research project involving the right to repair and have to give some safety tips/procedures to the people repairing a device and specifically Battery replacement. not for a device specifically more just being safe with Lithium Ion.
This is what I have so far:

Do NOT under any circumstance stab or puncture a Battery

Make sure the device is shut down when attempting to remove the battery

Unplug the battery and check for any other cables attached to the battery.

Avoid applying too much pressure

I don't really think I'm missing anything. Sorry if this is a misuse of the forum I just can't quite think of any other R2R forums.

I'm looking for small, metric fasteners for fixing a frame.work laptop computer. Do you have or know a source for any that meet these specs?

M2 3.0mm fastener with a 4.5mm diameter, 0.7mm thick T5 head.
M1.6 1.5mm fastener with a 5.5mm diameter, 0.6mm thick T5 head.
M2 4.0mm fastener with a 4.6mm diameter, 0.6mm thick T5 head.
M2 5.75mm with a 4.6mm diameter, 0.8mm thick T5 head.

Unfortunately, frame.work does not sell these screws. Thanks.

Framework Laptop: The delete key is not working reliably

Fri, 07 Feb 2025 18:22:06 -0700

As one can see..(https://community.frame.work/t/broken-de...) the delete key problem in framework 13 laptop keyboard has a considerable discussion.

Bring repairability to computing products is one thing, but how deep can it go is another thing. I have been using framework laptop, after evaluating its modularity, and evaluation from ifixit. Its quite satisfactory to see such projects.

However, this delete key not working and conventional remapping solution is not great, especially when most work is typesetting work that involves lot of typing. Reliability over keyboard quality and keys, hinges, its circuitary, contacts, etc... brings trust.

Any repair guide that focuses on replacing or repairing the framework laptop 13 keyboard's individual keys would be great. official framework laptop repair guide for keyboard lacks this.

The root cause of the problem still not being investigated. Any help would be great from ifixit. From removing individual key carefully, cleaning it, etc... anything that act as source of such issues needs proper guidance, so that i can repair myself when a guide, and access to spare parts is also available.

And replacing the whole keyboard for one or more few keys is an expensive option for many.
