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?

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.

Have you reached out to Framework support about this? They might have access to more documentation about this as well as other incidences and might be able to provide some advice or resolution.
