레이저 블레이드 노트북을 14, 17 2대를 사용중.
약속이라도 한듯이 2대가 모두 CMOS Secure Boot 에러 발생.
아마 메인보드 수은전지의 수명으로 인해 발생하는 에러로 의심.
자택에서 사용중인 노트북도 같은 에러 발생.
CMOS 진입하여 Secure Boot 비활성화로 임시조치.
확인을 위하여 CMOS 패스워드 설정 후 종료.
2~3시간 후 재시작 후 CMOS 패드워드가 지워진것으로 확인.
메인보드 수은전지의 수명문제 확실.
레이저블레이드는 레이저 코리아 AS 대행하는 회사는 웨이코스.
문의글 작성후 답글 꼬라지가 가관임.
AS 안되니 알아서 하란 뜻으로 대응...
어떤 제품을 써야하는지 첫글과 기타 대응도 없음.
두번다시 레이저 제품은 안사겠지만
무책임하다고 재문의 했는데 답변이 또 어떻게 올지 모르겠음.
웨이코스가 AS 하는 브랜드 3~4개 되는걸로 알고 있는데 나중에 찾아봐서
건너띄는 브랜드로 인지하고 있어야 겠음.
I own two Razer Blade laptops (14” and 17”), and recently both of them started showing the exact same error:
“Secure Boot Violation – Invalid signature detected. Check Secure Boot Policy in Setup.”
At first I thought it was a firmware corruption or Windows bootloader issue. But after testing more carefully, I’m almost certain this is a CMOS battery failure on the motherboard.
Here’s what I tested:
I had to enter BIOS and disable Secure Boot just to boot into the system. To confirm whether BIOS settings were being retained, I set a CMOS password, shut the laptop down completely, and left it powered off for a few hours. When I turned it back on, the BIOS password was gone. Secure Boot settings were reset again.
That’s a textbook CMOS battery issue.
What makes this more interesting is that I tested another Razer Blade unit in a different location — and it’s showing the exact same behavior. Same Secure Boot violation, same BIOS reset. That doesn’t feel like a random one-off failure.
I contacted Razer Korea (service handled by Waycos) and provided product number, serial number, and a detailed explanation of the issue. The response was basically that the model is discontinued, all official A/S has ended, and I would need to handle repairs privately.
No technical guidance.
No battery spec information.
No suggestion.
No acknowledgment.
Just “support ended.”
I understand products eventually go EOL, but this is a CMOS battery — not a GPU failure or board-level damage. It’s a basic component that naturally degrades over time. For a premium laptop line like Razer Blade, I expected at least minimal support guidance.
Has anyone else experienced Secure Boot violations tied to BIOS settings resetting on Razer Blade models?
Did replacing the CMOS battery fix it permanently?
Is this a known aging issue for certain production years?
I’m genuinely curious if this is more common than people realize.
Long-term support matters, especially at this price point. This experience definitely makes me think twice before buying another Razer product.
Would appreciate hearing from others who’ve run into the same issue.
