Does anybody else have an issue where you can’t install the SSD because they put a captive fastener screw and it can’t be taken all the way out and you can’t get the SSD stick installed because it prevents it from being pushed down?

Which m.2 slot? I only have a 2280 so far and the screw for it was not captive.
It’s the primary slot. The screw for the secondary slot comes out with no problem.
I tried don't yet have a 2230 (smaller one) drive, so, not sure whether the one for that drive is captive. For the 2280 (standard M.2), the screw was not captive on my motherboard.
I made another post as this is looking like and RMA as I feel like to get to the bottom of the logic board may require more disassembly than I’m comfortable with. Like ungluing batteries.
Congratulations! I hope you like your FW16 as much as I like mine 😎
Got my email, batch 15! I plan on using it as a laptop and repairing/upgrading parts as needed! I know that sounds stupid, but seriously I am just excited to actually feel respected by a goddamn company!
Also gonna try and figure out this whole "VMs" thing, my current laptop with 8gb ddr3 doesn't seem to really be able to do it, but I'd like to be able to use them for distrotrying (not really "hopping," is it? Lol) and maybe have a windows one, with the watermark because I'm not paying, for the rare 15-60min per year I need windows.
