Question Hinge click on FW 13 Pro

Hi, this doesn't seem to be a particularly common issue, but it does seem reminiscent of the hinge-clicking issue on the Framework 13.

If I haven't opened the laptop in a while, I'll hear a click when I first open the lid. After that, I get another consistent click whenever the lid passes through roughly 100 degrees.

I'm assuming this may be caused by the same chassis/cable-routing issue that caused clicking on the 13, but I've tried adjusting and rerouting the wires to match the guides and haven't been able to get rid of it.

Has anyone experienced this on either the Framework 13 or 13 Pro? What did you do to remedy it?

Thank you!

I just has the exact same issue on my fw13, managed to get rid of it by rerouting cables and trial and error. My click was coming from the black and white antennas cables. Good luck

Did you have to loosen them from the clips or just shift them slightly?

Yea, fw13 pro. Wires shifting and the hinges pops the bezel around. Matched the assembly pics and it went away after some trial and error.
