Razer Blade Stealth 2016: Replaced battery, new battery will not work unless plugged in

Thu, 23 Mar 2023 00:22:19 -0700

My razer laptop is about 4 years old, the battery capacity was down to about 75%. I replaced the battery a few days ago and right after changing it I was able to power it on. I left it charging for a while to calibrate the battery, and tried to turn it on today. It won’t turn on now unless plugged in. I put the old battery back in, it works fine. The pins on the new battery connector all look good on both the battery and the motherboard. When plugged in, it shows the new battery at 94% and will not go higher than that, but shuts off immediately when unplugged. Could this be a defective battery? Is there anything else I’d need to do to get it to work??

Razer Blade Stealth 2016: System shut down as soon as I unplug

Sat, 15 Oct 2022 15:06:12 -0700

I have a Razer Blade Stealth 12.5, and I just bought the Razer Blade RC30-0196 Battery since my original battery dies very fast. I replaced the battery and the system can detect the new battery, and charging is good. However, when I unplugged the power adapter, my laptop shut down immediately. I think this might be a software problem, but after reinstallation of battery driver it still didn;t work. Anyone knows how to solve this problem?

Razer Blade Stealth 2016: Anyone know how to find a replacement USBC charging port board?

Fri, 19 May 2023 14:27:01 -0700

I think I’ve fused or blown the USBC charging port. It’s a new battery and was charging fine, I somehow plugged in a wrong power cable which made a weird noise and then immediately my laptop stopped charging. I’m trying to find a replacement port to see if that’s the problem.

Razer Blade Stealth 2016: Troubleshoot options for if I need a new battery

Sun, 13 Nov 2022 16:09:20 -0700

I replaced the battery about last year and I'm now having issues where it will not charge past around 20% (Somehow I've gotten it to get to maybe 27% but nothing any higher) and it sometimes charges a bit more when I constantly plug and unplug the adapter. Do I need to buy a new battery and replace it? or are there some more things I can try testing?

Razer Blade Stealth 2016: How to teardown/find keyboard connector?

Sat, 01 Feb 2020 09:53:26 -0700

Hello. I was wondering if anybody knows how to disassemble the Razer Blade Stealth 2016? Specifically I'm looking to see if I can access the keyboard connector as I suspect it might be loose.

The LED lights on the keys don't work anymore and when they do, the keyboard itself stops working entirely. I want to try and disassemble it and reconnect the connectors or check for damage.
