    This week i realize my Razer Blade is opening, i contact Razer but because i live in Brazil i can't send to repair, they only accept repair from US address, i don't know why. Fedex works worldwide and i would pay for the shipping.

    This is happening with other Blades too?

    Do you guys have any clue on how to repair this?

    Thank you

    I remember reading someone here had issues with the battery growing and bulging out on their blade. I'm not sure if it was the 2nd gen, but I would possibly try opening it and making sure that isn't happening.

    I'm not sure about the 2nd gen, but the 14" razer blade has the battery around the front edge I think. If you have the tools, I would take the bottom lid off to see whats pushing it apart. If its the battery, then i don't know if there is a way to self repair it at all. I'm not sure what else would cause it to expand like that.

    If you have not already done so contact Razer immediately. (I'm guessing you did since this is an old post).

    My understanding is that this is similar to the rechargeable batteries in things like my RC car like the LiPO. When they go bad they'll start puffing up and could lead to them exploding.

    Hope you contacted Razer by now. That battery is about to be toast. If you still have a warranty they will want you to send it back to them first. Do not take it apart yourself as that WILL void your warranty with them. They are very specific about that.
