    Razer Blade advanced 15" 2019 - BIOS LOCKED - SOLUTION HERE

    So I looked around and didn't see this answer anywhere on the forums, perhaps it was buried but I figured I should share the wealth and let people know the easyness before they try and flash their bios chips (saw several failed attempts at this)... Anyways the 2019 (and maybe the earlier models) have a goddamn CMOS battery on the board. Pop it off, unplug the main batt, press down power for ~10sec, replace batt and connector. BAM. BIOS password defeated. Like it's 1999 baby.

      Razer Blade 15 advanced Late 2019
      by Razor0601
      Hello, I bought a Razer blade 15 advanced with I7-9750h and RTX 2080 without Display. Seller said it works with external display. It arrived and I connected it to my Samsung TV. It gave me an external Pic with windows 11 start screen. But I had no Windows account so I removed the SSD and installed it in my other laptop to install windows 10. put it back in the Razer but from this time I never got an external pic. Can anybody help me to get back an external pic?
      BTW: I‘m sure the LCD-cable is bricked and not the LCD itself.

      Razer Blade 15 Gaming Advanced RZ09-0421 Laptop - No Display, External Screen Only
      by sikocan
      Hello Colleagues,

      I'm dealing with a perplexing issue on a client's laptop and would appreciate your insights. The user experienced a sudden screen blackout during regular use (not gaming), although the laptop continued to operate normally otherwise, with music playing and indicator lights active. An external display connected via HDMI works fine, indicating the display itself is functional. The device manager shows the Intel XE GPU as disabled, with Windows reporting a related error, while the NVIDIA RTX GPU operates without issues, even supporting gaming.

      Upon inspection,...

      GPU VBIOS for Razer Blade 15 Advanced (RZ209-033)
      by shybear
      hi,

      when I power ON this laptop it give me this red warning message:

      "the detected discrete gpu VBIOS is not meant for this system, press Enter to continue"

      Machine start and works properly. I was also able to update machine BIOS to last version 1.06.

      I attach here a copy of the orginal VBIOS stored on GPU flash memory chip.

      Thanks so much for help....

      Razer Blade 15 Advanced (RZ209-033) graphic card issue
      by shybear
      hi,
      this laptop works but temperature rise too much. I dismounted mb and cleaned well. There was a lot of dust inside.
      I think that there is a graphic chipset issue because when I power the machine I get this error:
      "the detected discrete gpu VBIOS is not meant for this system"
      This make me think that maybe the gpu VBIOS has to be re programmed.
      BTW someone already worked on this mainboard. Near graphic board there is Winbond flash memory that I think its stored the VBIOS.
      I attach some pictures and one of message error I get when I power on the ...

      Razer blade advanced 2020

      Hi all

      Repairing a 2020 Razer blade advanced, 10th gen intel + 2080 max q. Originally had a destroyed charging port (soldered to the board type) which I've replaced and then found out it was missing the 20v rail which loops around the board.

      Found a 3r030 mosfet which was shorted gate to drain so replaced that and now have 20v rail, 3.3v, 5v but still unable to power on successfully.

      When powering on there's no activity at all. The PCH gets hot but nothing else. At this point I gave up last night to attempt again today with fresh eyes.
