Razer Blade 15 (RZ09-0288) Battery Replacement

Hi, I would like to know the best way to purchase a new battery and repair kit for my Razer Blade 15. I spoke with a local repair shop and was told that the battery is $120 and labor is $60 so I figure that I would replace it myself since it's so expensive and purchasing a battery in Amazon is only $90. However, I'm a little skeptical about third party battery and I can't seem to find an official Razer Blade battery for sale. I'd rather avoid spending $180 or fear of third party batteries not working. I'd also rather not ship my laptop away either since I need it with me. Would it be possible for Razer to sell and ship to me a replacement battery? EDIT: For clarification, my battery is bloated.

Razer Nari crackling/popping sound only when on Discord voice chat

Whenever I'm on a Discord voice channel, I always hear crackling and popping noises whenever any form of audio is playing (games/videos/music) on any software outside of Discord itself. The audio when chatting with friends isn't crackling but the audio of music and videos from Google Chrome or Media Player as well as video games are crackling whenever I'm on a voice channel (Discord can be active and my audio will not crackle unless I actually enter voice channel). I have tested and found this to be true by playing music (hearing it clearly), then entering a voice channel (music starts crackling), leaving the voice channel (hearing it clearly again), then entering a new voice channel from different servers (music starts crackling again). This problem doesn't occur when I'm using my Razer Blade 15 speakers and other devices. I'm inclined to believe that this is a software issue since the Nari works works perfectly fine outside of this instance. I'm not sure whether this is on Discord'

What do you guys think of the new Razer Tartarus Pro?

https://www.razer.com/gaming-keyboards-keypads/razer-tartarus-pro What do you guys think of this new keypad? It's pretty innovative and looks great but I would much rather see a new Orbweaver with opto-mechanical tactile switches that aren't analog. It's nice to know that keypads aren't forgotten, but I just wish that there would be a new mechanical keypad soon. I would love to buy a new one if it's mechanical and tactile. P.S. I would also love to see a new Razer Naga.

Should the Razer Phone 3 wait for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865?

Do you guys think that Razer should wait until the Snapdragon 865 comes out before releasing the Razer Phone 3? From what I can tell, one of the problems with the Razer Phone lineup is that they are released during the end of the year when the current processor is about to be replaced by the new one so the hardware in it becomes outdated in around 3 months. Another problem is that releasing the phone in Q4 means competition with the Apple iPhone and Google Pixel phones. Apple fans will stay with Apple while Google Pixel has the latest Android software and timely updates to justify the late release date. Releasing the Razer Phone 3 with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ late in the year also appears to be a bit late since the Asus ROG Phone II just came out and those wanting to buy a gaming phone are likely to have already bought this phone before the Razer Phone 3 will come out. From what I remember, somebody from Razer mentioned mobile gaming to be hindered by software and not hardware bu

Upcoming Razer Announcement July 24, 2019

I'm really hoping that this is going to be a new mechanical keypad or Razer Orbweaver. A new keypad is overdue and it is a perfect companion for my Razer Blade 15 since the built in keyboard gets too hot gaming and bringing a full-sized keyboard around to travel with is too inconvenient. I've also been playing Final Fantasy XIV and might play World of Warcraft: Classic so new MMO gear would be nice.

Razer Blade 15 (Early 2019) Screen Randomly Freezes

Hello, I may have put this off for a while now but my Razer Blade 15 with GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q freezes its screen sometimes at random occurrences. The only solution to unfreezing the screen is to fold my laptop down and reopen it. Everything running in the background appears to work properly and I could even talk to friends in Discord and continue typing while the screen is frozen (the words I type reappear when I reopen the laptop). I figure that I could wait for a Windows Update but several updates have come and passed and still hasn't solved the issue. I thought that maybe it has to do with Razer Synapse 3 but a couple of updates has passed as well and still hasn't fixed this issue. This issue usually happens around 0-3 times per week. I'm also not sure if this is the issue but I did start to notice this happening around the time after I did the security update earlier this year. I figured there were some things I wasn't able to update so I also updated everything I could find he

Nintendo Licensed Razer Phone

Razer is known for releasing Licensed Edition products from games and other partners such as Overwatch, Destiny 2, Street Fighter V, Dragon Ball FighterZ, etc. and I think it would be cool if Razer releases a Nintendo Edition of the Razer Phone. As gamers, I'm sure a lot of us grew up with Nintendo in our pockets and I think it would be great to relive that kind of feeling again. Nintendo has also been releasing some really great games for the mobile platform in the past couple of years such as: Pokémon Go, Super Mario Run, Fire Emblem Heroes, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, and Dragalia Lost. In addition there are also plans to bring Mario Kart and The Legend of Zelda to the mobile platform. At this point, a collaboration between Razer and Nintendo for a licensed phone would be a match made in heaven. What do you guys think?

Razer Phone 3 Cancelled?

There are rumors floating around that the Razer Phone 3 is cancelled as part of the "Realignment Plans". I believe that as a company, Razer should address these rumors to confirm whether this is true or false. https://9to5google.com/2019/02/19/razer-phone-3-canceled-phone-division-layoffs/ https://www.trustedreviews.com/news/razer-phone-3-cancelled-3661940 https://www.droid-life.com/2019/02/19/razer-cuts-2-of-workforce-in-realignment-phone-division-future-questionable/ If this is the case then it looks like it's going to be the Google Pixel 4 XL for me. I was hoping that Razer would come out with a 5G compatible device and finally featuring the headphone jack but it looks like this won't be the case if the rumors are true.

How about a Kickstarter for an Orbweaver V2 or new Keypad?

Just as Razer made a Kickstarter for the left-handed Razer Naga Trinity, how about a Kickstarter for a Razer Orbweaver V2 or a new Razer Keypad with Opto-Mechanical Purple Switches? I'm planning to buy a Razer Blade 15 this month and would love to complete my setup with a brand new Razer Keypad and a Razer Naga Trinity. While I would have preferred a wireless Razer Naga Trinity Epic, I could settle for the wired one; however I don't think I can compromise with buying the Razer Tartarus V2 since the Mecha-Membrane Keys don't feel as good as true Mechanical Switches, let alone the Opto-Mechanical Switches. The current Razer Orbweaver is also only supported by Synapse 2 which I don't plan on installing in the new Razer Blade 15. As a laptop gamer who's always on the go, the Razer Orbweaver has been an amazing travel companion and it would really suck to travel with a keyboard all the time just to enjoy playing games. It's been a very long time since Razer updated the Razer Orbweaver a

Will Razer present something new for GDC 2019?

Do you guys think Razer will reveal something new in GDC 2019? As a graduating student and aspiring game developer, I think it would be cool to see something new and innovative in the hardware and systems side of things. We could maybe see a new Razer Blade Pro 2019 or Razer Core X 2 for a more powerful workstation. On the software side of things, maybe new Chroma features or some kind of improvement with Razer Synapse and Razer Cortex for games. We could also maybe see some kind of Chroma integration with Unreal Engine or Unity Engine. Razer is known for collaborating with game developers so it would be interesting to see if they have something ready for the Game Developers Conference at San Francisco. For Game Developers. By Gamers. #ForGameDevelopersByGamers

Razer Blade 15 Panel Lottery

I initially planned on buying a Razer Blade 15 with RTX 2070 Max-Q and 512 GB SSD this week until I found out that the local Microsoft Store ran out of stock. Later down the line, I read about how the Razer Blade 15 can come with either the LG panel or the BOE panel. The BOE panel appears to be riddled with problems related to changing refresh rates whereas the LG panel has been featured in reviews for being a great panel. This is important to me since I plan on lowering the refresh rate down to 120Hz since I play fighting games which are locked at 60fps. Before I make my purchase, are there ways to identify whether the laptop has a BOE panel or an LG panel? Would the product number or serial number help identify this? Are there other panels aside from LG and BOE that I should know about? $2599.99 is a lot of money and although the laptop appears to be an amazing product, I would rather not be a victim to cost-cutting practices by ending up with a cheaper and more problematic panel t

Razer January 29th Announcement

"You want it, we got it." It looks like Razer has something in store for us in January 29. I'm personally hoping they unveil a brand new Keypad with Opto-Mechanical Switches. My best guess though is that we could be seeing more products with different color options such as Quartz Pink and Gunmetal Grey since we are being teased with a Razer logo in pink and silver. We could also be getting more products for Mercury White if this is the case. I'm personally hoping for Gunmetal Grey for my setup. Since the announcement is at January 29, it could be that it has something to do with the Razer Blade since Nvidia announced the release date for GeForce RTX 20 Laptops to be January 29. But since Razer is teasing something new, it could be a Razer Blade Pro 2019 or a Razer Blade 15 Gunmetal Grey Edition and Razer Blade 15 Quartz Pink Edition. What do you guys think?

CES 2019 Predictions

What do you guys think Razer will showcase in CES 2019? CES 2017 featured Project Valerie and Project Ariana. CES 2018 featured Project Linda and other products. While the above featured concept products, Razer also unveils some of the products they're planning to release for the year. Last year at CES 2018, Razer revealed the Razer Nommo, the Razer Mamba Hyperflux + Firefly Hyperflux, and a collaboration with Netflix and Philips Hue. For CES 2019, we know that Razer will be collaborating with Microsoft for a new product for Xbox One. We should be expecting more to come aside from this, especially if Razer wants to win the Best of CES award again after failing to do so for 2018. My guess for their big reveal is the shortly leaked "Razer Opus" which is likely to be an audio related device. I'm also guessing and hoping that the next would be Synapse 3 supporting more legacy devices such as the Naga Epic, Orbweaver Chroma, Kraken 7.1 V2, Tiamat 7.1 V2, and others. Another could be a R

Razer Keypad with Opto-Mechanical Switches

I recently had the chance to try out the Razer Huntsman at a store and I was amazed at how great the Razer Purple Switches feel and I'm liking it even more than the Green, Orange, and Yellow Switches. Right now, I'm still waiting for a new Razer Orbweaver but it would be even more amazing if Razer releases a new keypad featuring the Razer Opto-Mechanical Switch. I also see the Tartarus as the keypad equivalent to an Ornata and the Orbweaver as the keypad equivalent to the BlackWidow so it would be cool to see a keypad equivalent for the Huntsman. Keyboard → Keypad Ornata → Tartarus BlackWidow → Orbweaver Huntsman → ? Really hoping to buy a new gaming keypad in 2019 so here's hoping that we see a new keypad featuring mechanical switches or opt-mechanical switches. Here's a link for those unfamiliar with the Purple Switches: https://www.razer.com/razer-opto-mechanical-switch #ForGamersByGamers
