    Hi,

    I'm having a problem with my wife's razer laptop. While the charger is plugged in, it stops and starts whenever I launch anything, even Google Chrome. This gets annoying when playing games, for instance, if I'm On WoW, the fps keeps dropping because the charger keeps going off and on intermittently. The battery is getting charged though, I have no idea what's going on :s

    Update: The issue was only happening when I open WoW and changing the graphics settings to ultra, it would make the battery spaz (charging icon on and off)

    Update 2: Used the windows 10 option to "Reset this PC", I guess thats a quick way to format it, when it finished, battery icon on the laptop again started going off and on (brightness going up and down)

    I would perform a fresh install. Make sure you grab your intel graphics driver in addition to the nvidia driver. All your drivers are here! If you still experience the issue, contact Razer for support. If you are out of warranty, they can still help for a fee. Considering the price of Razer systems, it may be worth it.

    Thanks for the reply.

    After a few days, it just wouldn't charge at all. I left the laptop charging overnight and it only charged 40%

    I also noticed that the light on the brick started to flicker (when it flickers it flickers it doesn't just turn on and off, it goes from normal to slightly dimmer >_<)

    Anyway, I found a Toshiba charger with the same voltage but different amperes ( I guess that's fine right, is it?) and it's charging properly ^_^
