My 2013 Razer Blade is starting to show signs of ware from general use. Often the battery indicates that it is “plugged in, not charging”. When the battery gets to around 1% the laptop powers down due to lack of power even when plugged in. To my knowledge the Razer cannot be instructed to run via AC only. Would removal of the battery bring about the desired affect of forcing the laptop to run off AC and by extension preventing power down due to insufficient battery charge?
