Hi all,
I'm having a persistent power issue with my Razer Blade 17 (Mid-2021, RZ09-0406). The laptop randomly switches between "plugged in" and "on battery" mode, even though the charger is always connected. When it flips to battery mode, I notice performance dips (especially while gaming)
What I've Tried So Far:
-
Tested with a brand-new charger (issue persists)
-
Disabled Razer Synapse and background services
-
EC reset (60 sec power button with battery/charger removed)
-
Updated BIOS/firmware using Razer Updater (all up to date)
-
Inspected power port (no visible damage, solid connection)
-
Disconnected internal battery to run on AC only — issue still occurs
-
Full battery drain + recharge — no lasting effect
Are there any possible software-related causes for this? Anything else I can try before doing a factory reset and sending it over for repairs?
