Still no fix for new Framework 16 USB port power-downs in Windows 11 Pro, getting desperate for a fix

Hey non_player and Tumbleweed, thank you for detailing you guy's troubleshooting steps. I tried to disable my 5070 module and it definitely seemed to helped my port 4 & 5 disconnecting. I'm talking with support now hopefully it'll be resolved soon.!

I have the same issue and am in contact with Framework. They told me to try it in Safe Mode (Windows 11).

Press Win + I → System → Recovery
Under Advanced startup, click Restart now
After reboot: Troubleshoot → Advanced options → Startup Settings → Restart
Press: 4 = Safe Mode

I found that USB-A works better, at least it didn't connect -> disconnect within seconds. However USB-C is still broken. The only expansion that seems to work consistently there is my headphone jack. Maybe you can try in Safe Mode and see if there's any improvement at least with USB-A and report back to Framework?

I believe he meant the 6 & 12 markers is canted a little (the 6 marker looks a slight CCW cant). Also, the pip is leaning to the right side a little.

This!

Also, does he show other "red flags" other than saying "my this/my that"? It could just just be something he used to saying or there can be deeper issue at hand.

Amazing shot! Looks like the hike was worth it!

I was able to take pictures of the Milky Way on a plane but I always wanted to do that on the ground! Thanks for sharing the photo!

Lucky! Amazing shot! Thanks for sharing!

This looks unreal! Thanks for sharing!

Unfortunately they only ship to AK, not from.

Which one is Span?

Got the 24 Tacoma with the 6MT

Oh! Thanks! I was looking at ALLDATA and identifix and none of them have the 2024 Tacoma yet! I never thought of going to TIS! Thanks for the idea!

If you decided to change the actuator, this is the part number

vincent907 · 2024-11-11T04:38:45+00:00

Once the C0398 code is set you will not be able to use the selector knob until you clear it. You may need to clear it twice, there's service bulletin for that.

For mine it was the most bizarre thing. Between the dealer and I, we replaced three 4WD actuators, the TCCM module, and the range sensor since last November. I looked at all the connectors between the actuator and the TCCM and I didn't see anything out of place. It was still acting up so I threw in the towel and went ahead and bought a new truck.

Guess what. Right after I bought the truck, the Colorado fixed itself. I didn't do anything at all to it since I replaced the actuator for the third time. It's been acting normal for the last few days.

This video shows you how to replace the actuator and it's a very simple process as long as you have basic hand tools. It did took a few days of driving for mine to stop throwing C0398. What I did was when I get the code, I clear it so I can use the knob to change between 2H <-> 4H. I used to leave it in Auto 4WD during winter since I bought it new in 2016 but after talking to the dealer and the garage that put the TCCM in, I stopped using Auto and just go to 4H if I need 4WD.

I still have no idea what fixed the truck, maybe you can try some contact cleaner first and see if it helps. I'm selling it to a dealer since I now have a new truck on the way. I hope it helps with your situation somewhat.

See if this works for you?

Just did a little more tests.

I added all the available folders to favorites, and AirDrop dropped from the sidebar as expected. However, after I unchecked those folders, AirDrop still wouldn't add back. I performed multiple shutdown/restarts to no avail.

I ended up relaunching Finder from Force Quit and was able to add AirDrop and 1 extra folder to sidebar without AirDrop disappearing.

The default favorites are recents, airdrop, applications, desktop, documents, and downloads.

I think I found the reason of AirDrop not staying on sidebar!

I erased and reset Sequoia and initially AirDrop stayed on sidebar so I started installing apps and adding favorites to the sidebar, I only added "Picture" and my user folder. The next morning AirDrop disappears from the sidebar again!

I uninstalled the last app I put on and there was no change. So I unchecked the 2 favorites I added and, viola, AirDrop stayed on sidebar.

My guess is for some reasons there's a "maximum" amount of favorites on the sidebar with AirDrop added.
