This page sets out the repairs, upgrades and data recovery we carry out on the Razer Blade 15 Advanced (2019), with notes on what tends to go wrong and what can and cannot be upgraded. The Razer Blade 15 Advanced is a 2019 gaming laptop with a 15.6-inch screen, identified by model number RZ09-0301. Both the drive and, on most configurations, the memory can be upgraded, which makes it a good candidate for a refresh.

Razer Blade 15 Advanced repairs and upgrades
Screen replacement
We replace the 15.6-inch panel with one that matches the original resolution and refresh rate. A cheaper 60Hz panel will physically fit many gaming laptops, and we do not fit one unless you ask for it.
Price confirmed before work starts
Windows repair and reinstall
The Razer Blade 15 Advanced meets Microsoft’s Windows 11 requirements in most configurations. We upgrade from Windows 10, which reached end of support in October 2025, or reinstall Windows 11 cleanly with your files kept.
Battery replacement
The battery is internal and held by screws. We fit a new one, then calibrate and test it under load. On a 2019 machine a worn battery is the likely cause of short runtime, and we measure its capacity before recommending anything else.
Price confirmed before work starts
Charging port and power repair
Depending on the configuration this charges through a round socket, USB-C or both. We test the adapter, the port and the charging circuit to find which has failed.
Overheating and fan repair
We strip the cooling system, clean the fans and heatsink fins and renew the thermal compound and pads. We check temperatures under load afterwards.
SSD and storage upgrade
The Razer Blade 15 Advanced takes an M.2 SSD. We clone the existing drive to a larger one so Windows, programs and files carry over unchanged.
Price confirmed before work starts
Memory upgrade
Most configurations of the Razer Blade 15 Advanced have SODIMM memory slots, so memory can be increased. We check what is fitted and the maximum the board supports.
Graphics repair
The graphics chip is soldered to the board. Artefacts, crashes under load and a black screen with the fans running are diagnosed to the chip, its memory or its power stage, and repaired at board level where it is economical.
We also carry out keyboard and trackpad repair, motherboard repair, liquid damage repair, hinge and casing repair, virus removal on the Razer Blade 15 Advanced, along with USB, HDMI and audio port repair, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card replacement, webcam and speaker faults, BIOS password removal with proof of ownership and data transfer to a new machine.
Notes from the workshop
- Thermal servicing matters on these thin, high-power machines.
- The model number beginning RZ09 on the base identifies the exact year and version.
- Battery swelling is the Razer Blade fault we see most. It lifts the base or trackpad, and the laptop should not be used on charge until it is replaced.
Data recovery from the Razer Blade 15 Advanced
The SSD in the Razer Blade 15 Advanced can be removed and imaged on our own equipment, so files can usually be recovered even when the machine will not start. Recent Windows machines often have device encryption or BitLocker switched on. If so we will need the recovery key, which is normally saved in your Microsoft account.

Questions
Can the SSD or memory in the Razer Blade 15 Advanced be upgraded?
The SSD can be replaced with a larger M.2 drive. Memory is in slots on most configurations and can be increased.
My Razer Blade 15 Advanced will not turn on. Is my data lost?
Usually not. The drive is separate from the fault in most cases, and we can remove it and copy your files even if the machine itself is not worth repairing.
Can the Razer Blade 15 Advanced run Windows 11?
Yes, in most configurations.
