So I had another one of my Razor gaming laptops have a significant problem. Oh, there's a surprise. Yeah, this is mine. So this is the one that gets the least use because it's mine. So, you know, it's only like when I'm playing family games. Like I don't really play it by myself. It's, I think, five years old, something like that, maybe more, maybe six. It's, it's not new. It's six years old and running Windows, so you've reinstalled Windows 12 times at this point?

Well, never, because it's a gaming laptop, so I don't care how bad it gets.

But we were in the middle of a family of Minecraft game the other day and uh it starts making a

terrible sound don't love that yeah it's you know starts making a very very bad sound seemingly

from one of the fans and the whole laptop starts vibrating like crazy so i'm like okay probably

you know maybe the maybe a bearing you know went bad in the fan or something. But it's like, it's unusable. And interestingly, that's got to be the only thing left inside a laptop that conceivably could make noise other than the speaker because there's no other moving parts in there, right? It's just the fans. Yeah, just fans. And I mean, you know, you could theoretically have like electronic, you know, wines and chirping.

Yeah, like a buzzer or a wine maybe.

Or like I said, the speakers could be going wonky and sending stuff. But yeah, the fans. Yeah. Sounds like a culprit. Yeah. So, and in all fairness,

like we've now had in the three members of our family,

I think we've had five Razor gaming laptops or four.

This is the last one standing. In all fairness, we've now had in the three members of our family, I think we've had five Razor

Gaming laptops or four. This is the last one standing. They do not last under actual use by

actual gamers. They're great for people like me who occasionally play games with their family,

but don't play a lot heavily every day. They just, they do not last.

And I, I would love to say, oh my God, look at this PC laptop maker that sucks.

But the reality is like, not only is Razor, I think the best PC laptop maker I have

found so far, at least for this, for this kind of PC, but also like no laptop could stand up to the amount of stress that a heavy gaming load for, you know, every day for years puts on it.

Anyway, so I open it up and of course, I see the battery is a little bit pillow shaped.

Oh, no.

Your old friend.

Ugh.

And it's subtle, but it's there. Like, it's definitely puffy. There should be no puffiness. Zero puffiness is the correct amount. Right, which I learned last time this came up, and I asked the audience, and everyone including you said it's supposed to be a flat rectangle and it was, you know, very much not. What is it, John? Zero boobs? Uh, yeah, spicy ravioli, I believe was the phrase that the internet sent Marco immediately upon him posting a picture of his bulging batteries. In large quantities, I might add as well. I got many of those. Anyway, so I've recognized, you know, this was the early stages of this problem too. So, all right, so I take the battery out and I'm looking the fan.
