Framework Laptop 13 (AMD) Only Charging With Framework Charger (alien.top)

As the title states, I can only charge my Framework Laptop 13 with the 60W charger from Framework. From what I've read I should be able to use most other USB-C chargers, all the way down to 15W (which would be an incredibly slow charge). I really just want to be able to keep the 60W charger in my backpack, and use a typical power brick to charge my laptop overnight. I've tried using a 30W power brick, as well as a 12W battery pack. In both cases, the indicator light on the laptop turns on for about 2-3 seconds, with the charging indicator in windows also turning on, only for it to turn off as well. I'm not sure if I'm just happening to use incompatible chargers, or if there's something else I could be doing wrong. Any help is appreciated

I was able to charge with the Steam Deck charger (45w) before the bios update, not anymore though. Thought that was a little strange.

Which firmware update? Very strange

[–] PublicSchwing@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

The BIOS update- 3.03.

I was able to charge with a 30w apple charger before I installed the nvme.

After I installed the disk (os, etc), the led on the side just flashed on the 30w and it does not charge. A 65w charges fine.
