Razer Blade battery issues and Windows feature

Hello, since my battery overcharging / bloating Razer locked thread and got in touch for a (chargeable) out of warranty repair because battery warranties only extend to 1 year and I was 2 and a bit years into my ownership. I'd like to set aside whether this should require a chareable repair or covered under warranty, a thread on that will go no-where an I also suspect would be locked. But on reflection and with the benefit of hindsight I missed several the warning signs of failure while I was still under warranty and I just wished I'd acted sooner so I am posting here some of the warning signs so that other users can perhaps catch in-warranty and not be caught as I was. Kind regards Chris 0) Usage: On those other forums and looking across several threads the common feature seems to be laptops with battery issues are those used while permanently plugged into power. As mine always was. 1) Temperature: Before - When charging my laptop at around area of the touchpad got quite hot.

Razer Blade Advance 15 2019 battery swollen

Hello I opened up my razer to upgrade the SSD and the case back practically flew off as I was undoing those last few screws. The wrapper around the battery looks BADLY swollen. Any advice? In EMEA electronic devices have a presumed 5 year lifespan even if warranty is less. Battery going bad like this after only a couple of years Thanks Chris https://imgur.com/gallery/IF0TalL Edit: yes. The battery really is that thick and protruding out. I haven't lifted this at all. Amazed actually that the thread on the screws didn't strip as I was undoing the last few. Pleased I was pressing near each screw on the case as I was undoing each one. (it didn't feel right as soon as I undid the first one and the case at that area popped up by 1 cm, so I was on alert to something not right)

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

hi all Surprised this isn't being talked about more, or I've missed the thread so I've created this here. It was bothering me that Intel driver update wizard kept nagging me on each reboot for Intel UHD graphics driver update, but when running - it would install and then uninstall and driver version remained stuck on 26.20.100.7261. Rebooting would then result in another nag. It bothered me even more when recently I found this article suggesting a vunerability for versions less than 26.20.100.7584 - which clearly the OEM drivers were. https://support.razer.com/articles/1688819461 https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-00315.html My concern initially was that the reason for my inability to upgrade the drivers was because it had already been exploited on my PC. And then I found this. Basically OEM DCH drivers < 26.20.100.8141 couldn't be overwritten by non-OEM Intel driver later than that. (which 26.20.100.7261 clearly is earlier and henc
