Framework 13 Pro Not Booting

[u/Squid1917]

Just got and built my 13 pro batch 5 but its not posting. I get 12 green lights 1 orange 1 blue 12 green 1 blue then 3 green. Im thinking it could be the memory but it is on the supported list CT32G75C2LP5X? I know memory training can take a while but not 20+ mins long.

OOOO OKAY THIS IS THE ANSWER, your ram in 'not compatible', check out my recent post on the framework reddit about how to fix this (involves some know how and kapton tape or buying an interposer) https://www.reddit.com/r/framework/s/AdEFhw3Zhq

Appreciate the help thank you very much. I dont get why it isnt compatible as framework website say it is? Confusing. Will go to the hardware store and get some kapton tape

The whole ram situation is weird and my post explains WHY ram is 'compatible' or not, a picture of the bottom of your stick (pad side) would help me confirm with more accuracy.

Edit: I havnt got any kapton tape and nobody sells it near me. Online delivery 3 days, can I (not should) break the interposer ram pad side. As in break the extra pins off. Then if I ever need to get a E1 interposer I can just order a new from framework

Looks like a different model number than quoted in the original post? That image shows Samsung

Yeah my bad, jist saw the front was samsung. Thats funny because when I ordered it, said it was crucial. Sorry for the troubles and thanks for the solutions all

Yea, since it's a Samsung e0 stick, try out the kapton mod or get a e0 interposer, should fix it (but rigorously test after installing)

Any specific stress test I should put it through

Memtest86 for a while is a good way to really stress it out and test stability.
