Previously, I had a Razer Blade 14 and adored it, now I’ve got an 18 and was impressed over the past week or so I’ve had it, until yesterday. The problem is as follows: My laptop will not charge further. It says it is charging, the charger is plugged in, but the number never increases. First, it was at 100%, then I unplugged it and plugged it back in after it dropped to 98%, rinse and repeat again at 96%. It now does not charge past 96% despite being plugged in for hours.
Presently, I have shutdown my laptop entirely and left it plugged in for the whole night, then booted it up this morning, only to see it sitting at 96% still. All signs indicate that it is charging, so I’m not sure why the percentage isn’t going up. I’ve read that Windows settings might erroneously cause the percentage to display like so, but spent all my time prior to work this morning messing with them, restarting a few times again to no avail. Currently, I’ve left my laptop shut all the way down and unplugged while I’m at work for the day, and will consult again when I’m home.
Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong and how I can fix it?
I have had my beautiful new Razer Blade 18 for all of a week and a half now, I’ve loved and used Razer a lot for the better part of my adult life, so I’m really hoping I don’t have to send it in and endure that whole replacement process and cost—money I’m already tighter on after buying the thing. Any help would be appreciated.
