    Razer blade 2022, 14" PI480 wont boot to OS, freezes


    Razer blade 2022, 14" PI480, Ryzen 6900HX, 16gb ram

    I picked up a Razer blade 14" (2022) from a friend who said it "overheated" and he replaced one of the fans. He gave up on it as windows wouldn't work/re-install. He gave it to me, and i've been working on getting linux on it. Installing Mint i was able to get about 1/4 through the installer before it froze. Now i can't even get the installer to boot. I am met with a kernel panic.... sometimes. Sometimes it just hangs on the boot sequence.

    I've run memtest quite a few times, and more often then not i will get a PASS. Sometimes it will fail right away, and other time it will be 19 hours with no fails.

    Since memory is soldered on, i can't really pull modules. I have tried pulling the NVME and wifi/bt card. This doesnt seem to change anything. Cold or warmed up, doesnt change anything.

    I also did a full teardown, and didnt see anything burned, or bad traces, etc.


    I just finished a 26 hour memetest, and its still as a "PASS"


    Would love any ideas or input moving forward.

    Thanks,

    Hello,

    You have your response, memory is most probably the culprit.
    If you don’t know how to replace onboard ram, take your laptop to a competent Repair shop.
    If you have stuff and skill it’s not a Big deal to replace it.

    good luck!

      Lol, i mean, fair enough. Granted this memory is soldered to the mainboard. As good as i am with soldering, i dont feel proficient enough to do BGA re-balling on memory modules.

      Sounds like i have one of two choices

      -scrap/sell
      -pay to have repaired.

        Razer Blade 15 2022, No internal display, Error Code 43
        by Rangry
        Hi! I have a Razer Blade 15 2022, with a RTX 3060.

        One day, while using Linux, the internal display suddenly stopped working.

        On Windows, it says that the internal GPU has stopped working (with error code 43).

        I have tried removing the coin cell and the battery, and replacing the RAM, with no success on fixing anything.

        I'm looking for directions to fix this problem, and, first of all, I would like to be able to access the BIOS and change some settings (which is currently impossible as it is always shown on the internal display). There is a setting...

        Solving Razer Blade 14 (2022) RZ09-0427 from scrap.
        by Pawel Borowski
        Hi folks,
        I want to solve a Razer Blade 14 (2022) RZ09-0427 with Ryzen 9 6900HX and RTX 3070Ti from scrap, and I need your help with the diagnosis.
        I have checked (I hope) all the voltage rails and found no shorts to GND and B+ except for the CPU VDDCR_SR rail (see the photo), which is near zero ohms to GND.
        When plugged to PS, the laptop charges the battery, and after pressing start, it supplies voltage to all voltage rails except for CPU VDDCR_SR one and, of course, the dGPU, nothing more.
        I have no experience in this type of repair, so please let me know if the low resistance...

        Dead Razer Blade 14 2022, shorted CPU?
        by BalkanBoy
        Hi,

        today I got Razer Blade 14, Ryzen 9 6900HX and RTX 3070Ti.

        Laptop was completely dead. I found shorted CPU VRM mosfet, shorted 19V mosfet and blown battery fuse.

        I replaced it all, but still on CPU coil where mosfet was shorted I got very low resistance, near 0 ohms. On other CPU coils I got around 3 ohms.

        Laptop now raises voltage on whole board, but still nothing comes on the screen. CPU gets 0.7V on all coils except the shorted one. CPU gets only slightly hot, below 40 C.

        I removed coil and injected 0.7V, it draw around...

        by pepebmx
        Hi guys, i just got a brand new razer blade 15 rz09-0409cec3 that turns on keyboard light, fans but no display at all. I managed to get bios bin file from razer but im not sure if this chip is THE bios chip. It is a Gigadevice 25q64cig (Uee704 Aj2103) or something like that. I believe that is the bios chip, I uploaded photos from all of them in case i am wrong. https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...9M?usp=sharing If its ok i will remove it, read it with ch341A , backup and share bios file here so you can check what is wrong. I will try to flahs bios bin file from...

        Razer Blade 2016 6700k 1060 RZ09-01952 suspected backlight power rail issue.
        by shellybelly
        Back Story
        I just recently purchased a RZ09-01652 Razer Blade 14 Touch v4(2016) as a project. I suspect the original motherboard had overheated and caused board damage to the vrm's for the CPU and GPU as now that motherboard works however will lockup on you often due to hardware clock issues.
        So after some research and looking at options for replacement motherboards I got a replacement RZ09-01952 razer blade 14 motherboard which has the 1060 vs the 970m that was in my original motherboard. I have contacted the seller about the motherboard being bad however I doubt they will be...
