Exactly what I was looking for, thanks for doing this
I did the re paste of; my Acer A717-72G-700J (NewEgg exclusive laptop)... It went well. I do use ThrottleStop. Limit all cores to max 3.8Ghz. Turn on Speed Shift and SpeedStep. Lower the CPU/Cache voltage to adaptive -99.6mV. Lowered Turbo Boost Long Power Max to 15. Kept the Short Power Max default at 45. Computer runs excellent (still), playing CSGO (CPU and HT intensive game). Followed the online tutorial to, Auto start ThrottleStop using Task Scheduler.
Nice video brother ! Keep up with good work. Thank you
Thank you again for this video Yanko! I have watched it 2 times now. The 1st time when I installed a nvme, and now because the battery is failing because it sits too much (I have a big PC).
A tip from me... If you leave the laptop and not use it for a long time, charge the battery about 80-90% and leave it on a side. Also you can pres the battery reset hole. This way you will disconnect it. Every 2-3 months plug back the charger and charge it to the same 80%. When you are not using it, the battery have a self discharge, so you have to charge it every few moths. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you mate! I just fixed my laptop with a simple battery issue but it was your guide that gave me the step by step guide to getting to it!
So good!
How did you fix the battery issue? I have an A717-72G-700J and I'm with the same problem, battery issues.
@@onodra The issue for me was the positioning of battery on the laptop. If I held the laptop anywhere near this area then the battery will disconnect and I would have issues. So once I fixed the battery connection it would pop out. So now I am always sure to hold it with two hands on either side as far from the battery as possible.
Many thanks, exactly what i need to know
Thank you very much friend!!!!!!!👍🤝
Thank you very much!!
I had the same issue with the build quality. Three plastic slots from the screws teared apart.
Very useful video, thank you!
Мерси много, исках да съм сигурен че правилно го отварям :)
Успех с отварянето.
Thanks!
Good job
This guys a vibe
Thanks.
I have this laptop with 1060 6GB. Put a NVME samsung evo in it. It is a really great machine. I'm never disappointed with Acer. Quality corresponds to price, but hardware is just really good.
Hey there Frank,Hows the thermals handling during gaming ? Does it run the correct fps provided by the powerful 1060 6gb or does it not release it's full potential during gaming and heating ?
@@zshade7651 During gaming it usually runs around 74 celsius. Framerate is good, I run everything on ultra. I don't know what framerates should be, or what the 'full potential' is, but I haven't run into any problems.
74 is very good, taking the fact that the cpu and gpu are on one heatpipe. Just clean it every year or so and it will be all fine.
@@LaptopDisassembly Mine (like most others have complained), runs around 85-91 degrees Celsius in a cool room. In the summer, I have to use the laptop close to an air conditioner so it doesn't overheat. Crazy they would sell a laptop that way.
The cooling is the same for 1050ti and for 1060, probably thats why.
nice
Hello, In case you still read comments. I had an issue near the fans, there are 2 cables that seems to come from the energy cable (external). 1 was connected and the other was in the air. Because of your video I decided to plug it next to the other. Its working for now.
Are they black and white or gray..
@@LaptopDisassembly 1 white connected, 1 black not connected and it has tape to keep it in its place.
It is for the wifi. Probably you had a low wifi connection. Now should be better. They are supposed to be connected both.
@@LaptopDisassembly I see, my internet is slow at the moment so I will test that a bit later. Its slow on my phone too. I think the cable is fixed for now. Thank you for the help.
The second cable will not make your internet faster, but you will see more networks or you can connect to your network with better coverage
Thanks for the video, I'm about to buy a M.2 SSD and install it by myself(I've also emailed the local authorized service and they said I can do it by myself if I don't damage anything) and it was useful watching your video. I still have a few questions:
1. You said something about the service hole for the battery at 2:46 to disconnect it. What is it exactly? A hard reset? Is it enough to just start up the laptop as usual after I'm done with the SSD?
2. I'm still worried a bit about the warranty, did you encouter any other Asipre 7 models that have any kind of warranty stickers on the cover(so that they void the warranty if you remove the cover by yourself)? Or did you even encounter any laptop manufacturer(not only Acer) in the past 2 years that put any kind of warranty stickers on the cover(so that the warranty is voided if removed)?
Hello
1. The service hole is used to "disconnect" the battery. You can do it after removing the back cover and unplug the battery connector. It is not a good idea to plug or unplug the ssd or other part while the battery is connected. Everything is under voltage at that case, so just unplug it to be 100% safe.
2. There is no warranty stickers on the laptop, except on the cpu screws, but you won't go that far. There is no warranty stickers ot the laptops for the past 3 or more years.
After you install the ssd just plug back the battery and start the laptop as normal and install the os.
@@LaptopDisassembly Okay, got it. I'm used to PC building, but I'm new to laptops. Thank you for your quick reply :D
thanks for the video, i do the same like of video, but the bios do not boot from the new one, the bios no have option for that, do you have some combination of key to unlock the bios???
There is nothing to unlock in bios. Did you install the windows on the ssd. Becouse you have to clone the old windows or to make a ftesh instalation.
When I’m taking my laptop apart, the back of the laptop (that you’re supposed to remove) is attached to the motherboard by some sort of wire. How do I safely detach it?
The only thing you have to disconnect before lifting the back cover is the cable for the hard drive. Just slide the connector little from one side, than the other and it will get loose.
Thx for the video. But how come that the ssd slot was empty after you have removed the cover for the first time?
Some have the ssd preinstalled, some not, depend on the configuration.
How do you reconnect the battery? Is it automatic? A717-72g-700j from newegg. Just finished upgrading thanks to this video. Samsung 970 EVO plus M.2 1TB SSD. Mine had no SATA so I installed a Samsung 860 EVO 2.5" 500GB. Plug was not seated where SATA cable connects to motherboard inside PC so it would not detect the drive at first. I seated it and it worked. That was the only problem. I used the SATA to clone my existing HD first and then disassembled and installed the M.2 SSD. Then I cloned my SATA onto the M.2 ssd. 1TB M.2 SSD works great! I was a little worried about exceeding the storage "limit" from ASUS. All the SSD software, drivers and cloning was easy with Samsung Magician and Samsung data migration software off their website.
Just plug back the charger and wait for 5min.
@@LaptopDisassembly thanks
A few questions, sorry if it's a long post
I have an A717-71G
So if there's an HDD and an SSD present and I want to install a new SSD, do I replace the current SSD or the HDD? What's the format? I'm looking at a Crucial MX500 SATA III 2.5 SSD. Would that work? And do you know of any ways to improve the cooling? It tends to run hot
This laptop have one place for a regular drive (2,5") and one place for M. 2 slot for an ssd. If you have a regular disk and ssd on the m. 2 slot and you want to add the Crucial 2,5" this mean that you have to replace the regular one. You cannot install two regular disks. About the cooling, you cannot replace the cooling system with better one, it wouldn't fit. The thing you can do is use a good quality thermal paste and clean the laptop regularly. (every year lets say). Also dont use the laptop on a soft surface like blankets and so. Also try using a cooling pad.
Hi there! Thanks for video. I can't understand which type of M2 ssd should i choose - should it be SATAIII or PCIe is also possible? Aspire 7- A717- 71G
The Laptop can work with nvme also. It is faster than regular ssd but is little more expensive. You need 2280 M. 2 ssd. Regular or nvme it is up to you.
can i just open the ram slot and change ram or do i have to open the whole laptop to remove battery also?
You can change the ram without Disassemble it.. The ram have a service hole. No need to disconnect battery
Thank you for the video. I am considering purchasing the laptop and add additional SSD. The manufacture's website says "The compartment door allows you to upgrade storage and memory as you see fit. Remove the cover and exchange the components for quick and easy upgrades." Do I really have to take off all the panel to add just SSD or just the bottom compartment is OK?
From the covers you can add ram or change the hard drive. But to install M. 2 ssd you have to remove the holl back cover. Watch the video, only thing you have to do is remove the screws and lift it up.
It really is a piece of cake. Never seen a laptop you can modify more easily.
@@ApacheNL1 most or the new ones are made the same. Just has to be careful when you are separating the both sides.

Ако пластмасата я няма, вентилатора няма да охлажда ефективно и ще работи все едни има само един вентилатор. Пластмасата е необходима, за да може вентилатора да "завихря" и изкарва топлия въздух навън. Пробвайте леко да огънете ламаринката леко на горе, да не би там да опира вентилатора. Ако продължава да го прави, предполагам е за смяна, може просто да се е изметнал леко. Но предполагам, че все още в гаранция, така, че може да се обърнете към фирма Вю Пойнт.
After opening up the back cover, how to disconnect and reconnect the battery?
Depend on the connector. In that video i forgot to disconnect it ( my mistake). The first way is just to pull back the battery cable, if that douse not work, try pulling the metal cover on the connector to the opposite size, and just lift the cable.
When I removed the cover the HDD cable got disconnected from the motherboard .. I can not find the motherboard connector to re connect the cable ? Any idea?
The connector from the board side is under the cover, i doubt you can connect it without removing the back cover.
I unscrewed visible screw on this plastic plate above hard disk but it is still really hard to take out, is it normal or there is another screw under anti-slip pad?
No there is no screw. Just the plastic is very tide. Use something sharp and don't worry.
@@LaptopDisassembly Thank you
Do you know any good replacement part vendors for acer ?
Except the authorised servise, no. Probably ebay or aliexpress
Can an nvme drive be installed or does it have to be a SATAIII? Is that a 2280 size drive?
You can install nvme 2280 drive also.
What's the frequence of the ram (for an upgrade of him)
it is 2133 MHz. But you can install 2400MHz.
Thanks for the video. At minutes 6:50 you said it supports NVME upto 512gb. I would like to upgrade to a 2tb NVME. Can I do that? Is there a storage limit?
No there is no storage limit. You can buy it with 512GB already installed. But you can upgrade with 2TB.
Well ... after installation ... How do I start working on it? Do you need a definition? Or starts automatically?What should I do?
After installing the ssd you have to install the operating system on it or to clone the old instalation to the new disk.
i have a question .. i have this laptop but mine already came with a 256G M2 SSD installed,, i want to swap it out and put in a bigger m2 SSD.. the current drive has the windows partition as well as a recovery partition. is there a way to clone this or back up the original and reinstall it on the bigger SSD .. i tried using acronis true image and it does not see the M2 SSD drive so what do i need to do in order to move everything over?? thanks in advance..
To clone from one to another yoy need two m. 2 slots. The laptop have only one. The only way is to use acronis true image and make a full backup and save it to external drive. After that put the new ssd and restore from the backup.
There actually is a way to do it with one slot - You need to get an external M.2 SSD casing for it to work though, and Acronis. Although for my laptop model (A717-72G), I also had to download and install the Windows ADK (first) and the Windows PE (second), followed by restarting your computer so it updates and Acronia will recognize the original SSD boot drive. Heres the link to those downloads, followed by the youtube video Im talking about

How about if there are both HDD and SDD can laptop boot faster or should be only SDD
The boot speed will be the same. The laptop boots from the system drive. Itis better to put faster ssd instead of 2 ssd drives.
Hey.. new to upgrading. Could you let me know if this product would be able to work on this particular modep acer.. WD_Black SN750 500GB NVMe Internal Gaming SSD - Gen3 PCIe, M.2 2280, 3D NAND - WDS500G3X0C ??
Thank you.
Yes it will work. The laptop supports nvme ssd, so no problem.
I have one too, can I remove the 1tb. hdd and add a 2.5 ssd?
Yes you can. You can install 1TB SSD, no limit for the capacity,
Trying to figure out what NIC that is on the motherboard. Can't find any spec sheet that says the model.
In most of the cases is Realtek, but can't tell for shure.
@@LaptopDisassembly Alright, thanks. I'll check on my laptop tonight
Does this model accept an ssd m2 nvme pcie instead of a sata one?
Yes it works with nvme.
I have a question
What page does the motherboard sell?
Cant quite understand the question.
Do you have to disconnect the hard drive if you only want to clean the inside?
Yes, if you want to lift the back cover you have to disconnect the hard drive
Hello a question would walk an ssd m.2 Nvme or just serve with SATA
Nvme will work, but for a regular use, you wount see big difference between nvme and regular sata.

Hey! Do you necessarily need to retire the hard drive to open the computer? Mine has a broken screw and I can't remove it. (sry for bad english)
If you don't remoythe hard drive, you cannot lift the plastic. Try drilling the screw head with a drilling machine.

I have a small problem: when I removed my mouse from the usb port, the usb port got stuck in the mouse, which means I have one less, but I think a tiny bit is stuck in the computer. It must have gone inside when the port broke and I can hear it when I shake my computer a little. Is it serious or not because I don't really want to open my computer...
Thank you for your reply!
The outside of the USB port is metal, so it may short something inside the board. Try to remove it if you can.
@@LaptopDisassemblyI don't think it's the metal but at the bottom of the usb port at the top there's a small hole focn I think it's the component like what surrounds the usb ports ( the plastic around the usb ports and everything I think because the metal is still in place)

Hi does this laptop support optane memory?
The models with 7th & 8th Gen processor should support Optane Memory. But flash with latest bios first.
Hi ! I don’t know if you can help me but some months ago, I installed a NVMe drive in my laptop(A715-71 so really similar) and recently the ssd is detected 30 seconds after windows has started then windows crashes and the ssd disappears from bios for the next 10 minutes or an hour…
I mean if you have an idea it would be really helpful, I tried unplug and plug back in the ssd, boot without the HDD and I updated the BIOS but nothing helped.
More precisely, when the ssd is used for around 1 minute, it shuts himself down and it’s undetected for the next hour…
Thank you 🙂
(Btw booting in Windows with a SATA drive works but only the M.2 seams te react strangely)
I had similar issue with A-data SSD and that model. After replacing it with different brand all work fine. The A-data ssd works fine on other laptop. I guess is something with the ssd controller. Also it can be just faulty ssd. Only thing you can try is updating bios and if that douse not help RMA the ssd.
@@LaptopDisassembly What do you mean by RMA ?(I'm french 😅)
Return Merchandise Authorization... You can return it as not working or with defects.
@@LaptopDisassembly ok but before I'll try to find a pc to put my SSD in to determine if it's the MB or the SSD itself
huh after looking at this video i took apart of my laptop to look at my hard drive but it wasnt there so i took all of it apart i saw a m.2 ssd and also there was no hard drive connector so i need to pay 3 or 4 times more to get more space than a hard drive is there any way to still get a hard drive in it?
1tb hard drive is about 60$$ so is not that expensive
You can install regular hard drive in..
oh im talking about the m.2 ssd stuff that is more expensive i said i cant get a hard drive in to my laptop cause it has no connector i dont really know anything about laptops i just wanted more space in my laptop and it seams like it just takes m.2 ssd thing
If the laptop is new it should have a small board with cable for the regular hard d rive. If no you can order on is about 10-15$

My same laptop died on me randomly, it was playing wow, and it along with the charger stopped working instantaneously
It can be from a lot of things. Try messuring the charger, and reset battery. If they are OK, you need to disassemble it and messure few things on the main power rail.
@@LaptopDisassembly how do I reset the battery on this pc
There is a small hole on the back witha battery sign. Just press it for 5 sec. And it will disconect it. After that leav the charger pluged in for 15min. And power on the laptop.
I have the same laptop and installed the ssd but i m not able to change the boot order,
If you have M. 2 2280 ssd it is automatically become first boot device. You can try and remove the normal disk and install the os. After that just put back the old one.
@@LaptopDisassembly it is an m.2 2280 ssd, i cloned my hdd os to ssd tried changing boot order, but ssd isn't showing up on uefi and if use legacy it causes boot error
Use aoemi Bacuper to clone just the operating system. After that remove the gerular disk and try again. Not all the programs can clone uefi disks. The best way is to make a fresh install but try the program that I recommend.
It douse not boot becouse it is not properly cloned. Try the program. It has to display message that the new disk have different partition type. It will fi xit. I use it for uefi windows 10 clone

First check is something blocking the fan fron moving.. Dust or so. After that check do you have voltage on the connector. If you have than probably the fan need to be replaced
I have an Aspire 7 A717-72g-559x, will I be able to pull out the pre installed 8gb ram, to install two identical rams for smooth operation? If yes, where is this original ram located in? Thanks in advance (it says 2 banks of 1 for slots for ram..but can't find the original slot..)
You should have two service covers on the back side. One for theregular drive and one for the memory. Under the memory one, there should be two slots. On this model they come with one 8gb preinstalled. So you can just add an extra one 8gb. No need to be the same brand, just same speed is enough.

Благодаря за светкавичния отговор !
- ако съм разбрал правилно от това което сте написали в предишни кометари/отговори , батерията сама възстановява подаването на електричество след 5-6 минути .
"ресетвам" захранването с един кламер , сменям "плочките" РАМ и след известно време батерията възстановява захранването сама .
Да но преди да включите лаптопа, включвате зарядното за да се активира батерията.. Само проверете дали модела разпознава единична плочка от 16гб.

how do you replace the fan?
The fans on that model are "welded" with the metal plate. To replace is you have to cut the plastic that is above the metal. This way the fan will be separated from the metal plate. After puting the new fan, use a solder iron to melt the plastic on the same place that was the old bond. You can use a peace from the old plastic that you cut, to fill the hole. Also you can use a little type to hold it to the metal plate.

I've noticed some manufacturers have said the limit of the nVME drive is 500 or 512GB, but I was able to install a 1TB intel 660p drive, and my 2TB samsung 970 evo also ran in it just fine. I am not sure why manufacturers are saying this. I have another model I can't remember if it was a Dell or HP that also claimed the same thing, but I was able to install larger drives in them as well. I am not sure if someone manufacturers are trying to place white lists for specific drives or limit the size recognized by nMVE slots, but it doesn't seem to be working so far. Curious to know if anyone has found a model that claimed this and they could not get a larger drive working.
Most of the manufacturers are giving the specifications for the basic configuration and stock bios. After that they released newer bioses that improve compatability and stability. I doubt they test all the combinations, they just say some basic configuration limits.
@@LaptopDisassembly Seems more like a marketing ploy to get to you to purchase the more expensive units. But in actuality these limits don't make sense because you are not limited in size by the SATA interface or by a PCI-E slot. I've yet to run into a compatibility problem with any nVME drive that was actually in a nVME slot and not just a SATA m.2 slot. Have you? Very curious.
Me yes, but on a budget model laptops... Some don't recognize the nvme ssd. I usually read the specification so that there is no problem, becouse all are costumers laptops.
@@LaptopDisassembly I guess I have just been lucky then so far. I'll take it.
In most of the cases they reinsure themselves by lowering the compatability list. This way if something is not working properly they will say... " well it is not in our list, so it is not our problem"
My laptop model is acer aspire 7 a715-71g-706s it only has a HDD. I have never open the cover under of my laptop and never seen inside it. Do you think they are the same with my laptop? Thanks in advance

@@LaptopDisassembly thank you so for your help.
@@LaptopDisassembly i have another question. Is it possible to replace the screen with higher refresh rate? Or should I buy a gaming monitor instead?
It is better to buy a separate monitor. I doubt you will find screen with higher refresh rate. To install one, sometimes you need to replace the LCD cable, becouse the stock cable may not have all the LVDS lines supported. Also if you buy a separate monitor, check what the HDMI can output. Depending on the HDMI revision it can output different refresh rates and so ....

@@LaptopDisassembly I done that already but I got it fixed I remove my 2 rams and place it back it works now thanks for your help too! and your video is good now I know how to do for my SSD!
@@defaultj8679 That is strange. If the problem shows again, just clean the RAM connector pads with pencil rubber.
The size of m.2 is 2and half × how much??
Screw size on M.2 is 2.0 x 3mm (CM2x3-3.3)
The ssd is 2280
Alguien sabe si puedo conectarle a esta placa una segunda tarjeta de red?
I think you can use something like that. www.aliexpress.com/i/4000274478342.html
How is this laptop working after two years... Pls reply
What do you mean by that. The laptop is working fine, just clean it every 2 years and that us all.
And can i upgrade or add a ram and wich is the best
Probably now you have one 8GB DDR4 2400MHz. So you can add one mode 8GB DDR4 2400MHz.The brand depent on the budget, but Kingston, Crucial, A-Data all will work fine.
@@LaptopDisassembly thank you so much man ❤️
@@youssefelsayed9104 Anytime
So by default this laptop uses a mSata drive, but it is possible to add a M.2 PCI-E ssd?
The laptop uses M. 2 ssd, not msata. So yes you can can install M. 2 2280 ssd.
@@LaptopDisassembly Okay I'm lost then, what is the thing you removed at 1:35? I thought that was a mSata ssd
No that is the regular 2.5" hard drive. It is just connected with flex cable. The ssd is under the whole back cover.
@@LaptopDisassembly Okay thanks for the help and quick replies! So after adding a M.2 PCI-E ssd, this laptop will have two hard drives?
Yes, the M. 2 will be for the operating system, and the regular 2.5 will be for storage. The ssd will increase the speed of the system.
Please, can you help me. I have an A717-72G-700J. I bought this notebook from 1 year ago and I'm having battery issues, my notebook doesn't charge when it's on, and when it's off, it's very difficult to make it charge. I have to plug in the AC adapter multiple times until it stabilized and starts charging. Neither when it's on or off, it keeps switching from charging and not charging until it does not charge. So I keep pluging and unpluging the AC adapter until it stabilized and charges. I have already tested the AC adapter from another acer notebook, and the problem persists. Please help me, I don't have a clue about what to do and what is this. I'm not a specialist. (Sorry for my english)
Very wierd problem. You did try with proper wattage adapter i guess. In most of the cases the problem is the battery itself. To know for shure, remove the battery and use the laptop on charger only. If it works fine, than probably the battery is bad. You can install Aida64 and see is the battery recognised and what is the wear level.
@@LaptopDisassembly No, I didn't try with proper wattage adapter. The only one I have available was with lower wattage. And I can't remove the battery on this notebook, because it's an internal battery. I've already tried resetting the battery by pressing with a paperclip on the reset battery hole for 5 sec and waited 5 minutes until turn on everything but it didn't work too
Try to find a proper wattage one, otherwise it may behave the same.
@@LaptopDisassembly Thanks, I'll try, but to me it doesn't looks like it's the main source of the problem.
@@onodra well everything else requires disassembly.
Добрый день! Подскажите пожалуйста, каких размеров необходимо купить ssd m2 для данной модели ноутбука? 2280 2242 2260?
Модел 2280
@@LaptopDisassembly спасибо!)
@@LaptopDisassembly можете ещё подсказать какой ключ у данных ссд? 1 маленький шлейф или с двух сторон?
Can you write it on English please. I use google translate, but still cannot understand.
@@LaptopDisassembly okey. One moment.
Where do I temporarily disable the battery?
There should be a little hole on the back cover with a battery mark. Just use a pen or something sharp and push it.
@@LaptopDisassembly ok. So it should reactivate when I plug it back in?
Unplug AC power adapter.
Locate the battery reset pinhole on the bottom of the computer.
Insert a small paperclip in the battery reset pinhole. Hold the reset button for 4 seconds.
Let the computer sit for 5 minutes with no power.
Connect the AC adapter and power on the system

@@LaptopDisassembly On another note.. I have the GTX 1060 version of, this laptop. Would you say that it's rather simple to repaste this laptop? And if so, would thermal grizzly conductonot be safe to use? Since, it's isn't a paste but rather a metallic liquid that, could spill.
Does it work’s with Acer Aspire 7 A717-72G-73C6 ? Thx
Yes
@@LaptopDisassembly thx
Could you please explain how to install a M.2 ssd to a Acer A715-72G-73Y5?
Thank you!
What do you mean by "how". The procedure is the same. Just open the bottom cover, disconect the battery. After that just insert the ssd and put a screw. In most of the cases the ssd should be with the brand sticker up. After that make a fresh install or clone the operating system and that is all.
@@LaptopDisassembly I just did it, it worked just fine.
Thank you mate!
hello,ı have acer aspire 7 a717-72g-76em. does my laptop have a place for an m.2 ssd port or is there a specific laptop?

My aspire 7 only have sad, can I add a HDD?
Yes, if the disk now is on M. 2 slot you can add additional regular hard drive.
@@LaptopDisassembly But I have Aspire A715-75G 50SA...
Plz tell me!
It turns out you can have only one ssd drive. There is no free space for regular 2,5" drive. The only option is to put a bigger SSD drive.
@@LaptopDisassembly thanks bruh!!!
If you could not frame videos at 2.3 centimeters from the object in question, I'm sure many will have less problems

I have a question can I put a 512GB SSD GIGABYTE - GP-GSM2NE8512GNTD ssd on this laptop Interface NVMe 1.3
, 1 x PCI Express 3.0 x2 and Size 80 x 22 x 2.3 мм
Please if you can answer.
Според Acer може да се постави nvme ssd. Така че би трябвало да няма проблем. За да е по-сигурно е добре да обновите биоса до последния възможен, за да се избегне несъвместимост.
@@LaptopDisassembly А как се updatva biosa и какво ссд би ми препоръчал до 512 гб?
Биоса се сваля от сайта на Acer според модела. Пуска се exe файла под Windows. Процедурата е автоматизирана. Относно SSD аз монтирам главно Kingston A2000 или A-data sx6000 ако говорим за nvme. Всичко зависи от бюджета, но гледайте да е с по-голяма гаранция
@@LaptopDisassembly как ви се струва това ссд на гигабайт 512 гб към 180 лева
Ами нямам наблюдение върху тях. Като цяло се намират и под 180лв. www.jarcomputers.com/SSD-512GB-Gigabyte-GP-GSM2NE8512GNTD_prod_SSDGIGABYTEGPGSM2NE8512GNTD.html
Просто ги сравнете със тези който ви написах.. Сравнете скорост на четене и запис. Тази на запос е по важна според мен.

@@LaptopDisassembly въпросче ако е удобно, какво правим ако китаеца е сложил изцяло прецакан болт и не можем да извадим вентилаторите. нямам дрелка.
Малко вероятно е болта да е бил така.. Или е отварян за нещо или отвертката е била по малка и се е заоблил. Ако няма дрелка може с малко моментно лепило да се залепи към отвертката и да се пробва. Другито е да се направят два нареза и да се пробва с права отвертката.
Sorry, where the bios betary
A clear CMOS jumper (JCMOS1) is located under a RAM module. Open the RAM module compartment, remove the modules and look for JCMOS1.
