**This is not a support thread - it is only to raise awareness to those considering buying a Blade** Hi everyone, I have a Razer Blade 15 Advanced 1070 (2018) with the common (i) camera not found, (ii) mic not working and (iii) battery swelling and preventing the trackpad from working properly issues. My objective with this post is to list some of the threads I found reporting exactly the same problems to raise awareness to those considering buying a Razer Blade. https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/9xzg7j/razer_blade_15_camera_issue/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/9zj4d3/razer_blade_15_advanced_model_camera_is_dead/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/fpbmga/camera_and_microphone_issue/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/fr3bmd/rz0902386_no_camera_foundno_mic/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/a11 http/razer_blade_15_camera_suddenly_not_working/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/e0hqr6/2018_razer_blade_15_webcam_not_found/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/at2ov7/razer_blade_15_2018_webcam_not_working/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/b9fr6e/my_razer_blade_15_i_bought_this_christmas_camera/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/a3epfc/blade_15_camera_stopped_working/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/98o7bx/razer_blade_15_bios_update_to_105_camera_and_mic/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/at27gj/webcam_shutter_for_razer_blade_15_2019_advanced/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/a7stc8/blade_15_webcam_issues/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/bto3jy/blade_15_advanced_webcam_issues/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/9vvrdp/builtin_camera_not_working/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/bco2vg/razer_blade_mic_and_camera_not_working/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/bb2qlf/razer_blade_15_2018_advance_model_webcam_problem/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/3lejly/razer_blade_camera_stops_working/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/iiemny/balde_15_microphone_wont_work_need_hep/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/7v2un4/razer_blade_2017_webcammic_not_working/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/grecas/razer_blade_15_durability/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/ga9i09/razer_blade_15_2018_webcam_microphone_and/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/bcozw7/mic_and_camera_not_working/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/idav82/ive_got_a_swollen_battery_on_my_two_year_old/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/h9mx92/razer_blade_15_2019_battery_bloated/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/i38mca/razer_blade_15_advanced_touchpad_works_but_i_cant/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/hu9win/replacement_battery_for_bulge_issue/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/ghnkk0/my_issues_with_the_razer_blade_15_advanced_2019/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/g83mp2/has_razer_addressedfixed_the_bloated_battery_issue/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/fozr28/2017_razer_blade_battery_swollen_causing_bent/ https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/ewmfgj/the_inevitable_is_starting_to_happen_razer_blade/ Razer does not acknowledge the design flaws or whatever is causing these problems. In most of the reports above the problems appeared after more than one year of use, when the warranty is already expired. Considering the above, if you buy a Razer Blade, chances are you might have these issues after one year when your warranty is expired and you will have to pay to fix your laptop because Razer will just treat these issues as isolated occurrences.
