The battery on mine is starting to puff ugh. Thanks so much for this. Update: its been a bit since I ordered and installed the laptop battery recommended here. Its working great. Been playing things like monster hunter and final fantasy 14 with no issues and way less overheating issues.
A tip for others. My battery was so swollen that when I unscrewed that side it physically and forcibly pushed the base plate. So I recommend people loosen those screws a little to see if there is any sign of that pressure. In which case I suggest tightening the screws again if you can and buy a new battery before proceeding with whatever else you were doing. I upgraded RAM and am running my blade without a battery while waiting for delivery.
as a warning to some people, if your battery doesn't just lift out, its taped in, for no reason there's some blade 15's advanced with double sided tape under it.
I just had to do this whole process. Thanks for your video, extremely helpful. Only issue I'm having is being able to open my old ssd in a reader to check if I have all my files. Also the battery life still sucks :D
Very helpful and informative content! I was wondering what performance gain did you get? especially in terms of daily usage, fan noise deduction, and heating since these Razers tend to get high temperatures.
As long as you have Windows 10, you should not need to find your key at all. After a reinstall it will automatically detect that your system previously had an activated version of Windows. Hope this clears things up :) - Aaron
@@TopSpecMedia oh, that’s awesome! Never knew that :) I plan on upgrading the SSD first thing after opening, so this saved me from upgrading before activating the pre-installed Windows. Appreciate the reply and all your videos!
Thanks for submitting this guide. the battery works great. My only issue is the computer doesn't recognize the battery and therefore no battery power rating. Any suggestions?
Just had the same thing happen. Letting razer take the L on this one because I'm in warranty but I'll be picking up a replacement to have on standby. Had never been a laptop guy but the Mercury White blade tempted me one dark April afternoon. Depending on your specific laptop you can manage the second stick without removing the display ribbon cable. They have it pretty heavily protected and you're more liable to knick the RAM. I've been fixing laptops for years and believe it or not this is my first swollen battery. I have had laptops that soldiers have tossed into the desert fair better. Here's hoping the replacement battery stays healthy and Razer sources better units moving forward
If you buy an external hard drive/nvme/sata ssd case you can actually migrate the os and all of your files without needing to reinstall windows and buy, if you want, a windows key. And after you copied everything you just swap the disks and you are ready to go
Hey man, great video, was wondering which Razor Blade to buy, looks like it's pretty modular so it all comes down to what GPU and CPU I ultimately want.
Awesome Video! But i have a question, do you need to install any wifi drivers when upgrading the ssd because i've heard that you can just download a wifi driver on an external drive and then you only have to update windows to install all the other drivers needed. How does this work?
thank you for this video, I have the same laptop I was cleaning the fans and after I assembled everything again my screen didnt work. I opened it again to check but everything is fine, any ideas??
RAM Brand does not matter as much as making sure you are getting the correct physical size and RAM speed, but at the same time don't buy RAM from a no-name manufacturer. This kit we used in this video has worked well so far, but you can always check out other types of ram using Crucial's RAM Advisor: www.crucial.com/store/advisor
couldnt u make a image of your disk and install it on the new one? also if u use a fresh windows installer does it still come with the razer logo and software and such?
Hi, great vid! 2 questions? Does that battery work with the Razor blade 15 BASE 2020 model? or only advance as mentioned? And does it really improve much with ram and NMVE harddisk?
Hey! I'm a newbie to upgrading laptops so your clear explanation is really helpful :) Just want to ask, should this process be more or less the same for the RB15 Advanced (2020)? Also, can you provide a link to a tutorial to create a Windows bootable instance? I don't have any data to transfer from the old SSD, but I read that no matter what, only having one M.2 slot in the laptop means that you need an M.2 to USB adapter to swap them. Just taking the old one out and putting the new one looks much easier...
My Razer Blades battery is finally starting to puff up a bit, I went to go check the link in the description for the battery he used as a replacement. But it's saying that the page isn't found? Is there a new link or website I could purchase the same battery used in the video from? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi, can i know how this razer blade performs today?? Is it still alive? Are you facing many issues during the years up until now?? Sorry I'm asking this, because there are alot of people having problems with their razer laptop like the presents of several issues with their laptop, thank you :)
Hey man great video, was shopping around for RAM upgrades for the same laptop, and was wondering if you considered ram sticks with higher speeds than the 2666, and if you think its worth the extra money?
You could use higher speeds but unless your CPU supports it itll just be throttled. Ik desktop intel cpu's are set to a certain ram speed unless you buy the overclock able version so maybe look up your CPU on your laptop, but if you have a amd cpu, you can go for 3200MHz no problem though you might wanna dubble check its enabled on your bios
the base model has a second nVME slot specifically to install more storage on your laptop. No need to re download windows. RAM upgrade is the exact same. Battery upgrade should be the same as well.
I have the same issue with the battery, TWICE!! now my Razer Blade 15 Bsaed model (2019 model with 1660TI) is out of warranty and i want to replace my battery, which Razer Blade battery should i purchase? or should i rephrase, how do i know the model of the battery? any website you would recommend to purchase the battery from? hope you can help me out. thanks!!
RazerBlade 15 Base - Lots of BSOD. After a lot of struggle found out that the SSD is just shutting down for some reason - Maybe a Hardware issue. So moved OS to HDD and it works fine but very slow. I guess I need to replace the SSD :(
I just run my Razer Blade 14 without the battery. The original one was so swollen that the track pad became curved and I tried replacing the battery twice, the first one lasted about a day and the second one for about 30 seconds.
Hello, so far, you still using RB14 without battery? If yes, how is the current situation? I bought Razor Blade 4090 2023 16” I am worried about the battery life, should I remove battery immediately before starting using it? Thank you
@@kaankucuk1612 You can if you want, in my case, the battery was bubbling up. I’d say preventatively it would be a good idea to do so although I’m not sure if Razer changed it to where you need a battery regardless though.
Battery swelling on these machines is most likely down to the quality of cells Razer chooses to buy from a random manufacturer, which can be spotty from time to time. Exposure to prolonged periods of heat can also cause a battery to swell, which is common since this a gaming laptop with very powerful components inside. By heat, I mean the intense heat that is generated by the GPU and CPU for long periods of gaming, for example.
Man I don't understand how long using this laptop like witch model Because I'm plening to buy a Razer blade laptop Please help how long takes to change the battery and I don't want to blow up like that
Nope! Not so far. This video was shot in advance over the summer, so I’ve had the battery for about 3-4 months now and it’s been working perfectly-perhaps better than the original. - Aaron
@@TopSpecMedia i bought the same battery 1 week ago and when i charge it from the percent that i said, the left side where the palm rest gets so hot and for prevent i shut down the laptop

Please can you advise, while reloading windows how to locate the ssd as it is not showing up where windows can be installed because the windows crashed on razer... Thank you in advance
how many slots are there for m.2 so i can upgrade, what is the max speed for this laptop? should i go for mvme 3.0 or 4.0? ram, is there only 2 slots for the ram?
Do I need a separate ssd for my dad enclosure? I only have 1 to work with. So do I have to have a separate ssd to back up my files while the other upgraded ssd has to download off of that ssd? This is kinda confusing
Usually pairing your Windows user with a Microsoft account is the easiest way to achieve this as your Windows license then becomes tied to your Microsoft account. Hope that helps! -cb
I have a question So I am somebody that keeps my laptop plugged in 24/7 just because I treat it like a desktop. I like the format of laptops and not desktops, (it's weird I know.) But the question is: if I leave it plugged in 24/7 like I do, will the battery inflate like you say it does? Because the laptop I currently have is an HP and the battery unsnaps from the back, and is not located internally like this razer blade's battery is. I am thinking about buying the razer blade 15 advanced 8 core, 16 gb ram 2020 model. And I stumbled upon your video as I searched for: how to install ram razer blade 15 2020. Because I wanna upgrade it to 32 gb of ram instead of 16 gb that it comes with stock. And also, what causes it to inflate? Should I just take out the battery from the razer since I am just gonna have it plugged in all the time? Let me know man, because you know more than me, and google searching specific questions that I have always end up making things tough. So I thought I would ask you since you know your stuff. Thanks :)

battery powered is a joke in comparison + batterytime also a joke. 1-1.5h max when fully used
Does the chassis shape go back or does it stay "buckled/bent" after battery replacement?
Do the hinges cause any issues ?
How’s your replacement battery holding up?
couldnt u make a image of your disk and install it on the new one? also if u use a fresh windows installer does it still come with the razer logo and software and such?
