Okay, so starting off, I’m in love with this laptop. Unfortunately, it’s got a few quirks, and due to the fact that I bought it used, I know there’s no warranty. Likewise, I’ve not the money to get it fixed by the Razer crew. However, I’m capable of doing my own repairs.
Specs:
RZ09-421PED3
i7-12800H
32GB RAM
Nvidia RTX 3080Ti Laptop
2TB SSD installed.
First off, battery. Mine’s pillowed out, already have a support case on that. But it’s a bit jarring to have to go through basically a job interview to be *allowed* to replace my own battery. Elitism, thy name seems to be Razer.
Second. Heat. Holy carp this thing runs hot, and even with repasting it, I’m hitting temps of 100 almost immediately on all of my P-Cores. I’ve repasted, I’ve checked to ensure everything’s screwed down good and solid, but dang. Any suggestions? Anywhere I can get a replacement for the heatsink, in case it’s failed (if it has the vapor chamber cooling) and needs replaced?
