**Note:** 

*   **The BIOS version 4.0x is a mandatory requirement to support the NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5070.**
*   ****Once you update to the latest version, the only compatible downgrade path is to BIOS 3.05 or any newer version (_this restriction applies only if you are using UMA graphics or the AMD RX7700_).****
*   **We’ve changed the keyboard standby/lid-close behavior to suspend the input device when the lid is closed, preventing unintended waking. **Before updating your laptop to the latest BIOS from 3.0x, you’ll need to update Keyboard/Numpad/MacroPad firmware to 0.3.1,** following the instructions** [**here**](https://knowledgebase.frame.work/en_us/keyboard-firmware-update-framework-laptop-16-r1LayV4Age)**. If  you already performed this and are on 4.0x there is no need to update again.**
*   **This release includes support for NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5070, which also needs Driver Bundle 3.01 or newer. **The BIOS version 4.0x is a mandatory requirement to support the NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5070.****

**You can check your current BIOS version [following the steps here](https://knowledgebase.frame.work/en_us/how-to-check-the-bios-version-on-windows-linux-bios-ryupu8HT3) to determine if you are on the latest release.**

**Instructions for Windows Installer:  
  
**

1.  **Run the .exe.**
    
2.  **Click yes to reboot.**
    
3.  **Wait for the firmware progress bar to complete, and then the system will reboot.**
    

  

**Please note that you must update with a charger attached.** 

### **Linux/LVFS**

****This BIOS version on LVFS requires fwupd version 2.0.16 or later because it necessitates a concurrent keyboard firmware update. With fwupd version 2.0.16 or later installed, you can execute the update by following the command listed below. Please note that you must update with a charger attached, then run:****

**fwupdmgr refresh \--force**

**then**

**fwupdmgr get-updates**

**then**

**fwupdmgr update**

**Please note that you must update with a charger attached.** 

**LVFS may not update if the battery is 100% charged. LVFS uses the battery status to determine if it is safe to apply updates. However if our battery is at 100% and the charger is off, we set the battery charging status to false. In this case you can discharge your battery a few percent, then plug in AC again and run fwupdmgr update.**

**Instructions for EFI shell update:**

1.  **Extract contents of zip folder to a FAT32 formatted USB drive. Cleanly unmount the drive before physically removing it, otherwise the BIOS update may not function correctly.** 
    
2.  **Attach a charger to your device while updating.**
    
3.  **Boot your system while pressing F12 and boot from the thumb drive.**
    
4.  **Let startup.nsh run automatically.**
    
5.  **Follow the instructions to install the update.**

## **Reporting Issues**

**To report issues we have created a public issue tracker on github. [https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/SoftwareFirmwareIssueTracker/issues](https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/SoftwareFirmwareIssueTracker/issues) We hope that this is a better way to track issues with community involvement moving forward as we have found it difficult to both gather relevant information about issues people are reporting on the forums, and track the issues through their lifecycle in a transparent way.** 

**If you do experience an issue with the update that is related to your system firmware, please post as complete a description as you can,  including relevant system information, and external peripherals. Please note that we do not currently have a SLA for responding to issues on Github, but we will be reviewing them through the bios release process, and will review them for future updates as well.** 

**If you have an issue regarding hardware, broken devices, returns, etc, this is not the place, please contact support.** 

## **Known Issues**

1.  **Type-C connection may be unstable with some Apple phones.**
    
2.  **Cannot negotiate charging for certain portable EPR power banks.**
    
3.  **If a device is plugged into an expansion card slot during the update, all USB3/DP functionality will be lost until the device is removed and reinstalled, or the system is fully shut down and powered on again. (Power off, unplug the charger, wait 90 seconds, and then power on again to recover). This issue has an occasional failure rate.**
    
4.  Intermittent CPU frequency lock at 545MHz following S3/Modern Standby resume.
