The left expansion card release button on my Framework 13 just randomly fell off while I was lifting my laptop off my desk, I put it back on, but whenever I shake my laptop by the slightest, it just falls off. Can I get a solution to this?

Are you still within the warranty period? If you are, open a ticket with support. If you aren't, you can try supergluing it back on.

wouldnt superglue make it all messy and werid though?

[–] MagicBoyUK@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Not if you use it as intended.

Not sure about this, but I think it would - at least - make your warranty completely useless.

The bigger problem is that I never seem to be able to get superglue to actually stick things together. Literally everything I've used it on has come unstuck. Skin seems to be the only thing I can reliably stick with superglue. When it comes to gluing plastic or metal I always use an epoxy, which can get messy.
