If I remember correctly there are 2 cables that connect the keyboard to the mainboard, but you will have to dissasemble the whole laptop to gain access the the connectors. The fact that only one side had quit is a give away that one of the connectors is loose.

This is likely an issue with the new battery you got. The only suggestion that I could give you is to check the battery connections. If your old battery held even a bit of charge for a while its would be a pretty good indication that you have a dud. Although if the old battery acted similarly it could be possible that there is a fault in the laptops battery controller circuit.

It seems that the only way to get the battery replaced is to send the laptop to Razer directly. According to others it costs about $200 plus shipping and so on. Unless you find something on eBay or that sort of thing.

The best information I can give you on the battery is what is pictured. That is all of the info that is given, I didn't leave any info out. Just good luck finding a replacement.

Well I'm not sure when I'll have the chance to open it up again but if I do I'll be sure to tell you.

I'm afraid i wont be doing any videos on this product. Like I said earlier i will likely do another teardown at some point, but once you get the back cover off the laptop its super easy to install. All you will need is the msata drive and a screw to fit the hole in the motherboard to hold the ssd in place. (I scavenged one from another laptop's wireless module)

that little cream piece is supposed to flip up, but not fall off. it just flips up to release the cable and allows you to then pull it out of the connector. Im not sure how you would go about getting the piece back into the laptop. As far as the msata slot goes, unless you use some sort of adapter, i don't think it has the ability to be used for anything but an ssd. It would not likely supply enough power to run a hard drive either.

I might if I get some time, but its way easier than you may think, once you get the back cover off all you have to do is disconnect 2 flex cables from their headers, disconnect the battery, and remove 4 screws. Its really simple.

Yes, the battery is easily removable as seen in step 3.

Indeed it is! it functions too, the stock is beneath the cable, the unpopulated is the exposed one, that i had installed an Mushkin atlas in and started using without a hitch.
