I’ve got myself in pickle with Razer blade 2022 that I had bought on credit via overclockers here in UK.

Start of August of last year, it abruptly turned off and wouldn’t turn back on after pressing the power button. So I tried getting the laptop fixed through the warranty and came to find out that it had expired.

Couple weeks later when I finally had time to take it to a profesional to check it out he then informed me of a motherboard issue and that it had broke because the VRMs short circuited. Apparently it’s a common issue with Razer laptops having these cheap parts carrying such massive voltage that it is bound to fail at some point. So now a year and a bit later i am left with a dead machine and money still coming out of my bank.

 

So how is it that Razer sells these overly expensive “quality” machines and it doesn’t even manage to last me till the end of my 2 year credit plan. Honestly just feel like I’ve been robbed of my money.

Have the same issue: posted this some days ago out of frustration:Unfortunately, I seem to have the same problem with my Razer Blade as many others -> the motherboard is defective and I would have to pay EUR 1500 for the repair. I am incredibly disappointed with Razer and will certainly not buy a Razer product again in my life and will not recommend anyone to buy a product from this manufacturer. This motherboard defect is obviously a design or material defect. It's an impudence and a rip-off that I as a customer should now pay for it. It almost seems to be Razer's business model to collect twice. Having to pay the high price to purchase the device and then pay again shortly after the warranty expires for a massively overpriced repair. I feel like I'm being held hostage. I'm now at the mercy of Razer.

Same thing happens to my 2022 6900hx razer14. Razer is a piece of shit nowadays.
