Hey guys this a weird one and maybe I’m being paranoid. I’ll try to make this as short as possible.
My roommate really liked my setup and decided to get the 2018 advanced gtx1070 version (same as me). I dual booted macos and windows 10 successfully. Using the high Sierra build 17g2208 everything was solid, no issues. But we were having issues in windows 10. It just kept locking up after a few minutes or even seconds.
After a few days of troubleshooting trying everything, wiping the system, installing windows 10 only, reverting bios, I was able to single out to the problem to the DW1560 wireless card. If I used the intel card it came with, windows worked fine.
So I was going to throw his DW1560 into my laptop since we have the same one to try and replicate the problem and when I removed my DW1560 from my machine I noticed some corrosion on the connector. So I went back to check my roomy’s DW1560 and his had a little bit of corrosion as well in the same place but not as much. I’m assuming his didn’t have as much corrosion because he never really got to use it. I’m gonna attach pics so you guys can see. The one with more corrosion is mine which has been working fine for some reason. Maybe my card has some higher tolerances or something. The one with less corrosion is his.
Long story short, I think what I’m finding is the these DW1560’s may not be entirely compatible with the 2018 advanced versions of the Razer Blade. I’d like to see if you guys have had any issues with your Dw1560 in windows. May wanna check out yours for the same issue.
