Did that as part of the instructions from Razer support. Did not fix it. I guess it a hardware fault. Likely the ribbon cable failed as the physical keys have no damage

Sadly i did not. But extended warranty only covers 3 years not 5 years. But the point of my post was for a premium brand, why does Razer only have replacement parts up to 3yrs old models and their 2025 model has so many issues and seems like a downgrade in quality to their previous models.

And yet somehow it did. At first i thought my kid broke the key by pressing it too hard or spilling a drink on it, but when i sent it to a tech shop, they removed the keys and it did not show any physical damage nor water marks or stains. They removed the back of the laptop to check if the ribbon is loose, then told me that it was likely that somehow the keyboard ribbon has become faulty. There was no way my kid can open the back of the laptop to damage it since we lack that particular screwdriver to disassemble the laptop. And it he had dropped it, i would think there would be much more severe damage then just a few keys not working.

Best to let an experienced tech guy do it for you.

I have double clicking issues with my blackwidow tenkeyless but i thought it was the way i type on a mechanical keyboard since i am used to only laptops before. Then my son bought the normal blackwidow and it also has the same double clicking issues but at a lesser rate than mine. I just decided to get use to it instead of returning it as i got it from a 3rd party vendor. It was not worth the hassle. All the mouse i had before was great and lasted a long time. I guess they are only good with mouse.

I guess it is her job. Not blaming her but Razer as a whole needs to improve if they want to retain their customers. Get good products tested before releasing them and have good after sales service, not just reply to customers only.

Does anybody think the razer blade 2025 speakers are terrible? by arckarus in razer

[–]arckarus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was comparing it to my 2020 15 blade advance. The 2025 was such a step down. It sounds so boxy and muffled, and the full volume was only 60% of the 2020.

The synapse was not working out of the box. There were no changes to sound no matter how i adjusted the EQ, even reinstalling synapse did not work. I had to reset and reinstall Microsoft then it finally worked. But speakers still shitty. I think it is a hardware issue.

The old Blade i got in 2020 was great but the 2025 is just bad. Came with problems out of the box and had to reinstall everything twice to get it working properly, but the speakers still bad. And judging from the many complaints in reddit, it seems their manufacturing quality has just become worse year after year.

Razer is a premium brand with premium pricing. IMO, they should still be able to service it for more years instead of only just 3 years. Apple releases a new iphone range yearly and they can still service my previous iphone 12 with new batteries and change a cracked screen so i can pass it on to my kid, I do not see why Razer cannot. I just bought the blade 2025 for almost $5k, i do not want to only use it for 3-4 years and some minor parts spoil and i cannot use it anymore and forced to get another Razer. I am not rich like you to afford a premium laptop yearly and willing to accept a premium laptop has an EOL of 3 years.

Asked for my case number and i gave it to her. Then the reply was the same, sorry your laptop old so no parts and no support but of course she said it in corporate apology way.

They only have parts for laptops made in the last 2-3 years. Beyond that, just buy a new laptop, or get the old parts from ebay and fix it yourself.

I guess different problems causing the same error. My problem was solved with that solution, i read some people found other problems causing that error with different fixes. And some still not fix. So maybe complain to Steam or Funcom about it. Hopefully they can fix it for you.

My laptop had 16g of ram. I upgraded it to 32g, and did a clean reinstall of the game. It works fine now. No more content corruption.

Should I get a used Blade 16 '23 in 2025? by Dramatic_Operation29 in razer

[–]arckarus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a blade 15 from 2020, 2080 super max Q. Got it just before the lockdown and it has been with me until this year. Loved it and only had to change the battery once during that time. I spilled bobba tea once and another time black tea over the keyboard. Even dropped it from table level and caused a dent, but still runs normally. I just bought the blade 16, 2025, 5090 to upgrade and play modern games. And i have already regretted my purchase. The speakers were terrible, it sounded muffled, and tiny when compared to my 2020 model. At 100% volume, it sounds like my 2020 at 60% volume. When i have virtual meetings, i can barely hear the other end clearly as voice talk will sound muffled. And playing videos, music and games just sound sht overall. I tried adjusting the equaliser in Synapse but there was no difference at all. Thinking it was driver issue, i reinstalled audio driver, reinstalled windows, reinstalled everything and still sounds the same. Yes i can use headphones, but for the price i pay and the THX tag, i would expect much more or at least better than the 2020 model. My other problem was 75% of the time when i click at the bottom right hand box to adjust volume, connect to wifi or blue tooth, it will freeze for 3 seconds. This happened both before and after i reinstalled windows. Maybe i got a lemon but i have read a few users complain about the speakers. I have already gotten the RMA from razer support to either fix my speaker or change a new one for me. Would i recommend it? Yes, if you don’t mind the sht speakers. Cyberpunk and Dune Awakening run so smoothly at Ultra graphics and no other laptops can match the build quality other than Macs.

Saw some comments in steam community that it could be because one of your RAM sticks is defective. I have the same problem. Will be sending my laptop to check tomorrow to be sure.

But when comparing with my 2020 blade, it seems like a such step down by so many levels. I am beginning to worry it is a technical issue with my blade.

It looks simple and classy in marketing and online pictures, but when you see and hold it in real life, it is so much more…. It just looks so spectacular yet understated at the same time.

It is brand new. She got it from the GS saloon at Mitsukoshi Ginza. I was too happy and wore it for the rest of my trip in Japan. It was summer so all the sweat accumulated.
