Chassis bulging and trackpad cracking


After finding out on Reddit that your trackpad is supposed to click/have (and having a buttonless trackpad is apparently not a feature on Blades...) mine eventually started to crack…


After owning mine for a year I only have a growing list of complaints. (Besides the typical hot to the touch aluminum body that makes it unable to play games requiring the keys) the biggest shocker is that your key pad apparently is supposed to click, which it did not since day 1.And now that its cracked from the swelling om not even sure if it will ever again. I have read removing the battery is supposed to fix the swelling/bulge and makes the touchpad usable again. Are there any downsides of removing the battery? Besides it dying immediattely if electricity cuts out, and voiding warranty (which I don't even care about at this point).

 

TLDR:

1 Does removing battery actually fix the bulge and make trackpad usable again. 

2 Does removing battery fix overheated chassis (less cramped up things inside, more open space)

3 Does it have any downsides besides the stated above

4 Any decent aftermarket replacement batteries that hopefully are a step up from the Razer quality?

 

Hi @secretcoolJet983

 

Can you share a photo or short clip through Google Drive or YouTube and sent it over through PM? Please include the serial number of your laptop so I can validate its model. I will escalate your concern to the systems team so we can check our options. Thanks!

 


If it’s bulged, I’d remove it from laptop ASAP, before it’ll make more damage to touchpad/chassis.

For the heating issues, I’d just clean the laptop, and apply a new, good quality thermal paste (like Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut for eg.)
