Razer Blade 18 Firmware and Blade 16 and 18 Screen Flicker and Image Retention Updates

There was a beta firmware (v5) issued a week or so ago for the screen, and in my excitement I installed it carefully following the instructions which stated that the update would take 20 minutes.  I waited 40 minutes and yet the progress indicator was stuck at about 80% or so.  After about 50 minutes, I tried rebooting the system and while I can hear it reach the Windows login, the screen remains blank. I was hoping they would issue an updated firmware that perhaps I can plug my laptop to an external monitor to install. Anyone else try the update?

Razer Blade 18 Firmware and Blade 16 and 18 Screen Flicker and Image Retention Updates

Thanks for your input.   I was thinking of connecting to an external monitor to update the firmware.  Trouble is, they removed them the day after (they must know it’s no good).  I have the Blade 16 w/ 4080. How long did yours take to update?  Did it have some popup indicating completion?  I waited for over 50 minutes, while the instructions said it takes 20 minutes.

Thanks for the link.  I will try as soon as I get a chance.  My attempt stalled at around 80% or so and didn’t move beyond that.

Interesting, the v1 for the panel hotfix is back.  Perhaps I will try that first (as maybe my model configuration may not be entirely compatible w/ the v5) when I get a chance.  But it is notable that v1 specifies nVidia driver version to use while updating, whereas I don’t recall v5 doing that.

Razer Blade 18 Firmware and Blade 16 and 18 Screen Flicker and Image Retention Updates

I tried to connect my Razer Blade 16 (2023 w/ 4080) to external monitor (TV) through HDMI and tv just says “no signal”.  v5 beta for the firmware upgrade specified to switch setting to “dedicated graphics” which is the nVidia, so w/ the update failure, does that mean there’s no way to use the external connection to try to re-update back to v1?
