Razer Blade 15.6" (GTX 1060/1070, 2018 edition) Owner's Lounge

Vapor chamber on 2019 advanced that shown on notebookcheck looks similar to mine (2018 advanced), only mine is black vs gold copper color on 2019 models.

 

do you think the dimensions are the same?

 

Dimension like width maybe thickness not sure, but I know 2018 and 2019 models cassis millimeter different and later one runs cooler due highest fans rpm, however it doesn’t mean they use different dimensions vapor chamber, since mobo quite similar size and vapor chamber screws on also similar positions I think it’ll fit.

 

Hi. I've a Blade 15 2018 (advanced) since late 2019, which has suffered a few losses. Webcam, mic, logo backlight stopped working, and battery got swollen. I also have a defective power adapter and a half-dead memory stick, but these are fixable easier than the former.
Is there a trusted manufacturer of the batteries? I don't want to buy another one only for it to die a year later, unless it's the only option.
Is there a way to get webcam+mic working again, and/or check if the actual hardware died or just the cable or something?
Logo backlight is optional, but a nice-to-have. Can this one be fixed too?
Should I make a separate thread?

 

Damn that’s ripped literally in every corner, for webcam and mic, did you unslot the cable for like accessing the internal like for repasting or upgrading ram, I remember mine was stop working too then I unslot and sloted it back gently, whalaa it was back, it might be only me though.
For battery I wanted to replace it through Razer (out of guarantee, F me it happened after 3 years was hoping happened within 2 years guarantee period for free replacement, they estimate €130 repair fees including diagnostic, parts and shipping back I think it’s safer than trying unknown brands from ebay, however I rather put that money for the new blade 14, and let 15 without battery as desktop for maybe my niece when she’s growing up as gamers, she looks like starting to like the keyboard with rainbow effects (wave) though.

 

Yeah. Those were not working before though. I did try reslotting, cleaning the contacts with isopropyl alcohol and stuff - didn't help.

That sadly isn't an option, I live in a country where Razer doesn't officially operate, so even if they agreed to it it would probably come closer to $250 just to cover shipping costs. Welp. Guess I'll try my luck with a shady ebay battery then.
