In this part of the video, Jamin introduces his YouTube channel, which focuses on DIY computer upgrade and repair tutorials. He demonstrates how to troubleshoot a Razer Blade gaming laptop that isn’t turning on. First, he suggests unplugging the power adapter and holding the power button for up to 30 seconds, which may resolve the issue for some users. If that doesn’t work, he advises performing a power discharge procedure by unplugging the computer and removing the battery to release built-up power on the motherboard. Jamin emphasizes the importance of using an anti-static pad or bracelet to avoid damaging components. He then explains how to open the laptop by removing the screws, including those potentially hidden under the rubber feet, using a hex driver.

In this segment of the video, the presenter offers detailed guidance on removing screws from a laptop, emphasizing that the screws are angled and not vertical. They caution against stripping the screws by inserting them at the wrong angle. Next, they demonstrate how to use a small flat metal pry tool to gently lift the laptop’s cover, noting that it came off easily without any components attached. The interior of the laptop is described, identifying the battery, RAM, solid state drive, fans, and heatsink assembly.
The presenter then explains how to carefully remove the battery, using a plastic pry tool to lift tape securing it and advising to save the tape for reapplication. They describe the process of unplugging the battery cable from the motherboard using fingernails or plastic tools, stressing not to pull by the wires.
After the battery is removed, the presenter instructs to press and hold the power button for one minute to drain residual power, then to try turning on the computer with the charger connected and the battery out. If the computer turns on, the issue might be a power buildup, and the battery should be reinstalled to see if the problem is resolved. If the computer fails to start, further steps are suggested to repeat the process and consider the possibility of needing a new battery.

In this part of the video, the presenter focuses on troubleshooting issues with a computer that won’t start. They suggest first reinstalling the battery and attempting to turn on the computer without the charger plugged in to rule out a power buildup or charger issue. If the problem persists, the video explains how to test the RAM by removing one stick at a time and trying different slots to identify potential RAM failures.
The method for accessing and reseating RAM sticks is detailed, including ensuring proper orientation and secure placement. If neither RAM stick works in any slot, the video moves on to diagnosing the BIOS settings, specifically mentioning the CMOS battery, which maintains power to the BIOS. Although the showcased Razer model doesn’t have a CMOS battery, the presenter demonstrates what it looks like on another motherboard to aid viewers in locating it for troubleshooting.

In this part of the video, the presenter explains different methods for handling and troubleshooting CMOS batteries on motherboards. They describe how to safely remove and reinsert two types of CMOS batteries: one using a port connection and another held by a spring mechanism. The video advises taking precautions to avoid breaking delicate parts when handling these batteries. If the computer still doesn’t turn on after addressing the CMOS battery, the presenter suggests troubleshooting other components like the charger, power jack, and power button. They also explain more advanced steps, such as removing the motherboard and isolating components to identify potential shorts or damage causing the issue. The segment includes references to additional resources and equipment for more in-depth diagnostics.
