I just got a used 2016 Razer Blade. It's the 12.5". It had a swelled battery but otherwise worked perfectly. Before fixing the battery, I started installing updates. I think during a bios update, something stopped it. Now when I boot, it turns on (keyboard glows) but I get a black screen. It seems to be turning on and off on it's own until I do a hard shut down.
Things I've tried:
-take out battery, boot from power supply
-take out CMOS for 48 hours
-a couple weird keyboard combos to activate bios
-take out m.2 and boot
-plug in external hdmi monitor
-new battery install
I'm not sure what to do now. Is there some sort of software I can install on a USB that can force update/repair? First Razer and man do I love the build quality of this thing.

I think this issue has to do with either the motherboard, video card, or SSD. If this is a 2016 model, it should be part of the discontinued models from this list. You can send our Support Team a chat or email and request a copy of the recovery partition. However, there are no guarantees if it's still available. I’ll be locking this thread now. Feel free to send me a PM anytime or visit our self-help options should you have other questions or concerns.
