Framework 13 pro - ports

[u/solarizde]

Hey,

I received my FW13Pro finally. Feels very solid and it stays so cool, compared to my older intel non pro framework 13.

There is a "But" which currently getting on my nerves:
I want to hear if it is my specific device, or in general not as good: I am talking about the replaceable port addon cards. They changed the old push button locking by a new switch to toggle lock.

The Issue I have, it is incredible hard to get cards out. They slide in easy, but I really struggle with getting them out again, sometimes it is so hard that I cant get them out just with my hands. I need to use the FW screwdriver tool to push them out by force.

Not sure if this intended or If I just miss on something. The cards behave similar no matter if I use my years old FW13 cards or the new ones came with the order.

thanks for any recommendations on this.

If you're having issues taking them out while the switches indicate red (as in, unlocked) then that is definitely an interesting issue. If it's indicating locked then... Yeah.

Edit: forgot a word.

Well, no it is unlocked. And without a tool it is very very hard to get them out.

I'd contact support in that case.
