    So I received my Razer Blade today. Nice laptop, but the ran fan makes noises. Not the normal hair dryer sound. But a low chirping like a ball bearing is going bad. Is that normal or is mine one of the defective units?

    It sounds like a bad barring one of your fans. I would request support from Razer, they will probably request you send it in for diagnostics.

    Back to this topic, When I received the Blade back, the laptop wont make any noises when on battery, but as soon as I plug the adapter into it, the adapter makes a high pitch noise. It also resonates in the laptop as well. When I play a video game the sound goes away. Its only when its on idle. Is it the Power Adapter that is messed up?

    Did you try an outlet or a surge protector?

    Try a few others... I had that issue in a particular outlet, not too sure why, but as soon as I plugged it on a different outlet with a surge protector, the issue went away... this laptop is very sensitive. :)
