Introduction

Use this guide to replace the battery in your Razer Blade 15" (2019).

If your laptop dies quickly or doesn't hold a charge, it might be time to replace the battery.

Note: This laptop supports expandable storage with an HDD (hard disk drive). This guide requires that you remove the hard drive from your laptop, if it has one. If your model doesn't have a hard drive, skip the steps showing how to remove it.

    • Allow your laptop's battery to drain below 25% before starting this repair—a charged battery may catch fire if damaged.

    • Unplug all cables, fully shut down your laptop, and close the lid.

  2. mwpZH3qBEQhGfMsZ

    • Rotate your laptop so the screen hinge is farthest from you.

    • Use a Torx T5 driver to remove the ten 3.8 mm-long screws securing the back cover.

    • Depending on the age and condition of your laptop, the back cover may come off sooner than this guide instructs. If the cover feels loose, remove it at any time.

    • Apply a suction handle to the right edge of the back cover, between the middle screws and the screws closest to you.

    • Pull up on the suction handle to create a small gap between the back cover and the frame.

    • Insert an opening pick into the gap.

    • Angle your opening pick upward, away from the frame. Keep it angled upward as long as it's between the back cover and the frame.

    • Insert your pick up to 10 mm (0.4 in) deep.

    • Grab the pull tab on the hard drive press connector, just below the right fan.

    • Pull up and disconnect the connector from its socket.

    • During reassembly, align the press connector over its socket and press down until it clicks into place. If it doesn't connect, re-align it and try again.

    • Grab the hard drive adapter on the left edge of the battery.

    • Peel the adapter and its tape from the battery and set it aside.

I just completed the battery replacement. The guide was helpful, even though I must say that I do not really agree with the moderate rating, as it really is super easy! I definitely recommend the essential toolkit, as T4 bits can be hard to find and the one that is included is sturdier than the other ones that I have used so far.
