Pry the bottom cover off carefully to expose the internals.

Disconnect and Remove the Battery

Peel off the tape covering the battery connector and unplug it from the motherboard.
Unscrew the battery using a Phillips head screwdriver.
Detach the tape securing the 2.5” SATA cable to the battery before lifting the battery out.

Inspect Battery Damage

Disconnect Webcam and Trackpad Cables

Disconnect the webcam and microphone cable.
Unplug the trackpad cable and the keyboard cable connected to the bottom daughterboard.

Remove the SSD and Wi-Fi Card

Unscrew and remove the SSD, placing the screw back in the standoff to avoid losing it.
Remove the Wi-Fi card and secure its screw back to the standoff.

Remove the Heatsink Screws

Peel off the rubber covers on the heatsink screws.
Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the heatsink screws in the numbered order for safe removal.

Remove Logic Board and Fans

Unscrew remaining screws holding the logic board in place.
Carefully lift the logic board, noting that it may be stuck due to thermal pads.
Remove the cooling fans for cleaning.

Remove the Trackpad

Switch to a PH00 screwdriver and remove six top screws securing the trackpad.
Disconnect the keyboard and backlight cables.
Remove four small screws and one large center screw securing the trackpad.
Push the trackpad out through the top of the case.

Install the New Trackpad

Insert the new trackpad through the top side, aligning it with the standoffs.
Secure it starting from the top screws working inside out, then install the bottom screws and the center switch screw.
Reconnect the keyboard and trackpad cables.

Clean the Top Case

Use 99% isopropyl alcohol with a microfiber cloth or paper towel to clean dust and residue from the top case.

Clean and Reapply Thermal Paste

Remove the heatsink from the logic board.
Clean old thermal paste from the CPU, GPU, and heatsink using isopropyl alcohol with Q-tips or paper towels.
Apply fresh thermal paste evenly on the CPU and GPU surfaces.

Clean the Cooling Fans

Use tweezers to remove dust buildup from the fan blades and filters.
Brush the fan blades and surrounding areas thoroughly.
Tap around the fan edges to dislodge hidden dust.

Reinstall the Logic Board

Place the charging port back into its slot first.
Carefully align and set the logic board into place, starting from the left side.
Secure the bracket that holds the LCD display connector, Wi-Fi antennas, and charging port.

Reconnect Cables and Install Fans

Plug in the speakers, charging port, LCD display connector, webcam, and microphone cables.
Secure the logic board screws (avoid fan screws for now).
Reinstall the cooling fans and plug in their connectors.

Reinstall Wi-Fi Card, SSD, and Daughterboard Cables

Plug in the LED cable and the left-side fan connector.
Install the SSD back into place.
Connect the trackpad and keyboard daughterboard cables.

Position the new battery into place, screw it in, route the cable, and connect it.

Close the Bottom Case

Lay the bottom cover back onto the laptop.
Secure it with the T5 screws you removed at the beginning.
Flip the laptop over and power it on to confirm functionality of the trackpad, keyboard, and battery charging.

CONCLUSION:

This Razer Blade 15.6″ repair involved replacing a swollen battery and a damaged trackpad while also improving thermal efficiency by cleaning the fans and reapplying thermal paste.
