Razer Blade battery issues and Windows feature

joikansaiThis was being asked already since long time ago, hopefully they’ll listen it considering gaming laptops are mostly being used on ac adapter power and some other brand already implemented this on their gaming laptops. Unlike OSX 3rd party developers on windows for some reason that I don’t know surely don’t make battery limitation software to make longer the battery longevity. Hey - actually it does work they just don't tell us about it. The trick is to unplug and run down the battery to exactly 95%, and then plug it back in again. My battery has been at 95% now for 3 days and did keep the setting after both sleeping and restart. Running battery down to a lower percentage, say 40% and then plugging back in again caused the charge to go back upto 100% (but then I needed to re-do the 95% trick to get it to sustain itself at a lower %) I stumbled onto this by chance and then found that thread which was raised as a complaint, but then locked before any useful discussion that

Razer Blade battery issues and Windows feature

joikansaiNice points. Just adding bottom areas would be warm if the battery is charging it’s similar to all lithium battery devices. Blade laptops cassis acts as heat dissipation and since it’s aluminium unibody it’s more noticeable than other material, it’s similar with macs, like MacBook, iPhone, iPad etc if you charge it on low percentage and play games it’ll noticeable warm since the body dissipate the heat from lithium battery and cpu. On gaming laptops it’s important to monitor the temperature, higher it’s faster it’ll wear, and on some point it’ll be bloated, in my case I won’t let the CPU runs long in 90ish areas and gpu I’ll keep not touching mid 80ish. As a result from several Razer laptops I had in past decade only one got bloated (that was also after 3 years and due pandemic more home gaming), I still have 7 years and had 5 years their system that still running well despite some of them the battery was dead (no bloated). Hi Maybe when I said area around wrist/battery are

Razer Blade battery issues and Windows feature

Plugged in I do note that they don't goto sleep very well if connected to an external monitor... Often I'd come downstairs in the morning and the laptop is pinging back and forth between sleep and awake...I think the monitor going into sleep mode wakes up the laptop and the laptop going to sleep wakes up the monitor. Nowadays I power off both completely as I don't trust the laptop to stay asleep

Razer Blade battery issues and Windows feature

I perhaps wrongly assumed that once fully charged and laptop still plugged in that the power draw was taken from the power brick, and battery sitting unused and not being charged. But now I wonder whether actually the power draw is taken from the battery even when plugged in and battery is then in a constant state of having a current passed through it. What's nuts is that I thought it was the action of charging that caused battery wear and that laptops had tech to prevent overcharge. But the evidence is that you might as well run your laptop from the battery in a non power saving mode and charge every few hours when flat. Chris

I've dumped my battery stats and charted below. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ukCNfEyo-48lAvStDqSfKOk0cdwjLaWfEoF0m3v94Rc/edit?usp=sharin To obtain your data run from command line "powercnf /batteryreport" and then open the resulting html in brower. copy/paste the table headed "Battery Capacity History" into a copy of this s-sheet or a new tab inside this one (not sure if it'll let you - never used google sheets before). The blips downwards around weeks 115>125 with hindsight I'd say is when the issues became unmistakeable The increase around week 147is when I installed the new battery The slight hollow around week 36 to 44 is a period around Dec>Jan 2019 when I actually used the laptop from battery and charging inbetween. So I am wondering if that was perhaps was the true capacity and the capacity either side of that was being masked by the laptop being mostly on-charge during the rest of the period. Show us yours. to grab run the above command and then copy/past

Razer Blade Advance 15 2019 battery swollen

Just to addthe laptop not been used for gaming... Mostly Citrix connection into work. I bought to help with advanced video editing using DaVinci resolve but did less of that than I thought.... so CPU and GPU won't have and therefore battery also not been unduly stressed

Razer Blade Advance 15 2019 battery swollen

P.s.what makes me really cross is that I had 2 year warranty cover extended until Mar 2021 in retrospect I realise that the increasingly bad trackpad "click" responsiveness that I had noticed starting Jan or Feb 2021 but that I was thinking was just me forgetting where the clickable area was. I have now learned trackpad getting troublesome is actually caused by this. Wish I'd sent laptop back last year but with lockdown couldn't afford to be without

Intel UHD Graphics driver - security advisory if version less than 26.20.100.7584

p.s. interesting this was on Windows 10 before updating to 2020-11 culminative update. This time I tried installing 2020-11 culminative update. [while it was updating it again tried to install 26] .20.100.7261 But after the update was done but before accepting the reboot from that culminative update I then repeated the above steps to uninstall the old driver and install updated drivers. I then accepted reboot of the culminative update. Since then a few checks of trigger both scan for hardware changes and I'm still on 27.20.100.8935 = good

Intel UHD Graphics driver - security advisory if version less than 26.20.100.7584

yes - this doesn't work. Razer or Intel need to update the drivers that they have on MS driver update. Until they do we get to keep the drivers that have the vulnerability that allows command privilege escalation. Joy. Steps to reproduce 1) download 27.20.100.8935 from intel (standalone or .exe - doesn't matter as both fail to stick) 2) disconnect network/disable wifi. 3) open device manager 4) select "intel(R) UHD Graphics 630". note driver version 26.20.100.7261 5) click uninstall device click on the "delete driver from this device" option OK. 6) scan for changes (device now shows as "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter") - note at this point if you haven't turned off network/wifi then windows will beep as it will have automatically reinstalled the vulnerable 26.20.100.7261. 7) reboot. [keep wifi/network disconnected.] 8) open device manager 9) select "intel(R) UHD Graphics 630". 10) either run the driver .exe or unzip the .zip and run the igxpin.exe in the folder note driv

hi Bumping this one as I've found this doesn't actually fix it. well it does but only until the razer rebooted at which point it reinstalls 26.20.100.7261. What I don't understand is that I've been into the device manager and actually deleted those driver versio. Is anyone else stuck on 26.20.100.7261? Chris

Windows 10 v 2004 with Blade 15 Mid 2019 Advance

Well I installed on (RB Adv mid 2019 1080/144) yesterday. First install didn't stick but second attempt did. I don't think the install could've even downloaded successfully as it completed and failed much too quickly. The second install took yonks to "prepare" once downloaded but ultimately worked once rebooted and the usual blue-screen installation process. No issues to report yet (I've only done a bit of audio testing, you-tube and this reply. Both realtek audio issues that I'd seen commonly reported that put me off the upgrade don't seem to affect me so happy there: Bluetooth headphones fine on both headphone mode and headset modes. Wired headphones also fine but with the usual finicky connection popup that you have to get to in time to set as "headphone-always". I don't use chroma outside ok keyboard and mouse which I have configured with different lighting around the function keys and regular keys and Razer mouse synchronised to cycling spectrum colours which also works.

[UPDATE] Razer Blade 15 ft. Intel 9th Gen processor

ThT86Can anyone with the OLED screen version check what is his discharging ratio overnight with the computer switched off. I have tested it two night now in a raw where before go to sleep I unplugged it from the power source and what I've noticed is that the battery level with the computer switched off within a range of 8-9 hours drops down to 89%-91%. That's quite a lot I would say. Then I found this thread /razer-blade-14-battery-self-discharge-fixed.17151/ with a similar issue and mentioning that the cause was the FAST STARTUP feature of the windows. However, after disabling it, I did not see any difference. Thus, I would appreciate if someone could test this on his rig. Hey I cannot verify this but I can say 1) Fast boot windows definitely has an impact. Fast boot is basically a cheat suspend. You think you're switching off but really it's kicking out user processes and then suspending the system processes. It saves battery if you're rebooting frequently, but uses battery for l

[UPDATE] Razer Blade 15 ft. Intel 9th Gen processor

Hi While benchmarking and my early-2019 Razer 15 Advanced RTX 2080 against the results I had for my earlier 2018 GTX 2070 model I noted the newer one has Lite-on CA3 SSD. I'm sure the older laptop had a Samsung PM981. I thought the Lite-ons were only being put in the base models. Anyone else?

[UPDATE] Razer Blade 15 ft. Intel 9th Gen processor

crypticcIs your Razer whispering to you? Not literally of course and not even like Neo is able to see things in the Matrix - I mean when opening / closing programs do you hear a minute and almost inadible background sound not too dissimilar to a ZX spectrum loading? Or maybe a miniature harddrive. Seems to be coming from somewhere around the S and D keys and only only audible when the machine is fresh and cold so the fan isn't running and ear quite close to the keyboard (although in a silent room it's possible to hear from normal typing distance) I've turned off the screen chroma keyboard so ruled that out. It's not the fan I think as say when the app is opened and the CPU load increases the fan then ramps up and it's a different sound. Interesting that the new EC firmware apparently addresses "audible motherboard noise" Anyone tried it yet can comment on the noise? C

2019 Razer Blade 15 FHD (144 Htz) vs. 4k

DonaldGatelyI recently purchased 1.) 2019 Blade 15, Mercury, 144Hz, RTX 2060, and 2.) 2018 Blade 15, 4k 60Hz, GTX 1070. I could not find either one of these models at my local computer retailers, so I bought both--open box deals on Best Buy.com. The plan was to evaluate which one I liked better, then return the one I don't want. I use my computer for work and play. I use AutoCAD for work and work with very large files. At home I do game from time to time, but I'm not the biggest gamer, in fact I probably have only spent around 20 hours total in the last 12 months gaming. I have gotten very used to the glossy 4k screen. Prior to this switch to the Razer, I have owned a Dell XPS 9560 (4k touch), and before that a Macbook Pro. Here are my findings: --4k screen not really much brighter. I could not find online the actual nits for this display though. --4k display does not have the 'buttery smoothness' of the 144 panel. You can really tell when scrolling text or web pages. The 144 panel t

JoikansaiOf course it’s not a “obligation“;) but some users stress their system first to know its limits and 3Dmark is great and fun to do than usual stress test because it has score achievement. In 2018 1070maxq we made magic 15K score, users try to catch that firestrike overall score, it was pretty fun. On daily usage I don’t use that 15K profile anyway, only sometimes for showing:wink_: Maybe for 2019 model magic 18,5K:smile_: I think you don’t have to be worried if you don’t use it daily, even when it crash windows has automatic protection called bsod lol:big_grin_: Erm How do you recover from a BSOD that now goes to a black screen after the reader logo. I presume Windows booted because keyboard chroma is operating But even safe mode is dead. Yikes Edit : to clarify the BSOD was at least an hour after the last perf test and all configured was reset to factory. crypticcErm How do you recover from a BSOD that now goes to a black screen after the razer logo.

JoikansaiIf you’ve good cpu silicons lottery try -150 or maybe -160mv undervolting usually on synthetic benchmarks it can go lower than gaming, and rtx Card memory frequency can be OC a lot, on egpu 2080 I can push it to max afterburner value 1000mhz, but you can maybe try 600 or 700mhz. And for Core Clock i thought you had +180 which’s great for 2080 on full desktop Evga 2080 on Razer Core i can only get 160. But if it’s +50 it should go higher. I actually got it upside down first try 400/200 and it didn't blow up. lol
