Hello Razer Support,

I have a Razer Blade 18 (2024), model RZ09-0509, with a KI8100 motherboard.

I am trying to install the official main firmware:

RazerUpdater_v1.1.1.3_KI8100-NVM16.1v6

However, the updater immediately says:

“This firmware tool is for use only with Razer Blade 18 and compatible system.”

The problem is that my system has no serial number programmed/displayed.

Windows reports:

  • Manufacturer: Razer
  • Model: Blade 18 - RZ09-0509
  • Motherboard: KI8100
  • BIOS: 1.06
  • UUID: Present
  • BIOS Serial Number: Blank
  • Motherboard Serial Number: Blank
  • Chassis Serial Number: Blank
  • IdentifyingNumber/SKU: Blank

I have also tried contacting Razer Support, but the support chatbot requires a 15-character serial number, which I cannot provide because the serial number is not present on the system.

Could someone from Razer Support please help me create a support case or escalate this to the appropriate repair team so the missing DMI/SMBIOS information can be restored and I can properly install the official firmware?

I can provide screenshots of the BIOS/Windows information and the firmware updater error if required.

Thank you.

Hi ​@bitLividPEARL960,

Could you try retrieving the serial number through Command Prompt? Once I have that, I’d be more than happy to help you get a support case started. If it’s easier, you can upload the screenshot to Google Drive or Dropbox and send me a shareable link.

  • Open the Start Menu and type “cmd.”
  • Open Command Prompt and enter: wmic bios get serialnumber
  • Take a screenshot of the results and send it to me.
