Thanks for the video! I just purchased one of the newest Nitro 5 laptops and will doing some of these same things and it's awesome to see how easy the Acers are to work with! As soon as you touched the back cover I was screaming "you forgot the ram" (but in all caps)! The battery was also still disconnected when you threatened to pull the cord because "the battery is full."
Great video Dale I so wish you were over here in Liverpool UK I have a HP Omen X 17 laptop which will not power up at all and cant seem to find anyone good enough to sort it out.I'm sorry for Your loss and hope grinding out these videos keeps you focused.
I am so sorry for your loss, may God watch over him and rest in peace. I am still pleasantly surprised by the quality of your videos and your knowledge in this field despite your age. Good luck in the future.
Thanks for sharing so I can do this myself. Bought a new Nitro 5 and upgraded the ram and PCIe to the Samsung Pro 980. It’s a great laptop but now it’s friggin awesome 👏
Hey Dale I´ve just got a new Nitro 5 AN515-58 and because of your video I learnt how to install my old Asus ROG 2.5" HDD properly to my new laptop and it is running very fast, I hope I'll be installing a 1Tb SSD next tuesday thanks for sharing your expertise in the subject, regards from Mexico City God bless you and your family
@@CadillacComputerCenter Can you help me to decide between this ACER Nitro 5 and *Asus Tuf / 11400H / 3050 / 16GB / 512GB M.2* Please help :))) Cheers!!
Very helpful video - I haven't opened up a laptop or pc in 12 years so was very nervous to updgrade my Acer Nitro! I've just ordered my SSD and DDR4s... man's going to be busy this weekend.
btw Dale, if you do see my comment - I would like to throw in a SATA drive and move my OS into that with essential softwares only (like Office, Chrome, etc.) and leave the SSDs for gaming and graphics/video software. Would you recommend this? Appreciate feedback from others reading this. Thanks!
The repair place told me it’s impossible to clone one drive to another. That leaves me a little lost. They do good work and def know what they’re doing when I needed a cleanup and more RAM added. And other work I’ve had done before. I’m confused.
This thing started off good for me but after like a week with it, everything goes so slow and i get a random black screen that lasts like 5 seconds before going back to normal. Now it's to the point i need to pray and hope today my laptop isn't laggy which is stupid that i need to worry about that on a new laptop
Great informative video, thanks for sharing. Could you please tell me if it is possible to upgrade a nitro 5 core i5 CPU to a core i7. I recently toasted my CPU by sending 25v into t he USB port when working with an Arduino CNC shield by inserting the motor driver backwards 😥. I have now bought a new Nitro 5 but rather than throw out the old one I may get the processor replaced either for an i5 or if possible an i7. Or do you think that there may be many other blown components on the MB? Thank you.
Thank you for the video, and i am sorry for your lose. i want to ask you.. after i do every thing you did can't i put the factory 512 ssd in the 2nd slot So that way i will have 2.5tb m.2 ssd and the 980 pro samsung will be for windos and rendering programs and the factory one will be for data and else ?
Hey. Nice video. I have a Acer Nitro 5 2022 with ryzen5 6600H and 140w 3060 6gb. I can only use two m.2 ssd and not 2.5 disk. I have 16gb ddr5 4800 ram. Can i update ram to ddr5 5600 or 6000 MHz? You got a new sub🙂 And should i put my 1tb wd sn850 1tb in the main m.2 slot and the 512 gb in the second slots like you did? Or have i two 4 gen slots maybe? I dont find out that. AN515-46-R7J3 is my modell.😊
Two things. 1: amazing video. Clear and precise and you’re clearly very knowledgeable 2: I see Samsung magician. Where do I download the data migration program you use? I don’t see it specifically listed on their website. They say you can migrate through Magician
Morning Dale, I have a nitro 5 an517-51 with 16GB and ~250gb SSD I want to upgrade it to 32gb and more storage but I’m unsure if I can just buy another 16GB ram and slot it in or if I’d have to buy 2 of the same 16gb ram? Also would you upgrade anything else while I’m at it?
7:28 Could you please write down the exact model of the RAM that was installed from the factory? It will help me buy the same one right away with my laptop. Thank you very much
I was using a different tutorial before yours and I popped the RAM out before doing anything with the power supply. I put the new RAM in just right, but now it won’t power up. Did I fry my system?
hi, does any nitro 5 (ie intel i12500h) supports a 2tb would be max 1tbd unit? i read in acer forum for a previous nitro model that would be only 1tb max. thanks
Hello 👋 Both slot Pcie nvme M.2 able support 2 x 2 TB ? Then can put in each Single slot 1 and slot 2 With 2 TB and total 4TB ? For this model (2023) Acer nitro 5 AN515-47-R3JC
hello, I also have a question, please, I recently bought this model of laptop and I want to change the ram and the ssd and my question is the following: if I change my 512 ssd with a 1 TB one, is it necessary to change windows too? Thank you very much
How did you deal with ram slowing to 2933 when both slots are used up? one slot will run at 3200, but as soon as you use both it slows to 2933. Did you overcome that at all?
@@davidc3150 i put a gen 4 samsung ssd in mine. there is a gen 4 ssd slot and a gen 3 slot. It works in both slots but you want to put it in the gen 4 slot after you clone the original ssd it came with which is 512 gb gen 3 ssd.
Why does it say it works with Alexa mine dont? I have the same exact thing? And obviously yea it’s gonna work with Alexa like my fucking fridge works with Alexa bro
It says on the Amazon listing that this gpu the 3050 ti on this laptop has 6 gigabytes of vram, hopefully it does or I wouldn't have just purchased it.
These laptops are horrible, save yourself the nightmare and select any other brand instead. Horrible SATA connector for 2.5" HDD/SSD, crappy quality fans and heatsink - fans will likely be the 1st things that you will need to replace in 1-2 years. I've worked on many types of laptops, this ones is by far the worst I've ever worked on. Steer clear IMO.
The fans are sooooooo loud!! Everyone runs out of the room when I turn on the fans. When the PC heats up you have to press the big N button then adjust the fan speed yourself 😂.
prayers and my condolences on the loss of your best friend and father .🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ty much
Love your videos! I got the confidence to open up and upgrade my acer nitro back then because of you! Simple and easy explanations

2: I see Samsung magician. Where do I download the data migration program you use? I don’t see it specifically listed on their website. They say you can migrate through Magician
