Is there anything I can do about some swelling around the track pad, space bar, c and v keys on my laptop? It's no longer under warranty. :(

    If it's no longer under warranty the battery will continue to swell causing damage to the chassis and trackpad. You should consider replacing or removing the battery ideally via a professional repair service. Official support may be available via Razer but you will need to contact Razer Support to confirm and get additional details. On a personal note, unfortunately all 6 of my Razer Blades have had battery swelling issues within 1-2 years of usage. It seems pushing the limits of thermal and size constraints has its flaws, BUT Razer seems to have introduced a 2 year battery warranty for 2022 and newer laptops so hopefully either a better supplier has been found, better cells are being used going forward, or product improvements into reducing the occurrence of battery swelling are now in place (better thermal pads/or battery controllers) I do hope you get it looked into and extend the life of the device to reduce any electronics waste!
