You take the back off like he did here, take out the Ram cards in there, put in your new ones... And probably disconnect the battery like he did in this video before you switch them.
Is a Hard Dirve for a PC the same size size a Hard Drive for a laptop because I was thinking about installing a HDD into my laptop but I am not sure if it will fit.
Anyone know what kind of hdd is compatible with acer nitro 5? I'm not good with this things i would like to know the size or brand that suits it, i hope anyone can help 🙏
Any 2.5" drive with a depth less than 9.5mm should fit, so that's either HDD or SSD drives. The M2 port will need an NVMe drive, the Acer here supports Gen 3, though I'm not sure if it supports Gen 4. Always go for a name brand from a reputable site or dealer too; don't buy used or a generic brand that you've not heard of. Samsung, SanDisk, Kingston, Western Digital, Seagate; all well known brands. Capacity varies, though the larger the capacity the more they cost, and if you decide to RAID the drives, you need 2 identical drives, (if you don't know what that is, chances are you don't need to do it). HDD's and RAM are some of the easier components to upgrade in gaming laptops, once you do it once you'll be confident in doing it, however CPU's and GPU's are very difficult, if not impossible. If you're unsure, ask if a tech friend can either show you how it's done or talk you through it.
First of all, my unit AN515-51 did not come with a hard drive mounting bracket or any screws or ribbon connectors of any sort. Additionally, there is not place that I can find to plug in a new drive. Not place for the ribbon cable to plug in.
How do you install an m.2 in the second m.2 slot you have there? It looks like there is a screw already in the spot you would put one but in the opposite direction and not accessible
Does anyone know if this will void the warranty by doing it yourself??? Sucks if I would have to bring it in to Acer Service for something I can do myself.
what do I do if one of my friends has lost the HDD upgrade packages's screws, I want to know if I can refer them to a link where you can get replacement screws.
Acer support tell me that I cant Have 2 M.2 installed and 1 SSD but I feel this is not correct , can you confirm this cant be done,,, thanks in advance
Will this void warranty on a new laptop because I have a sata 1TB samsung hdd I want to add to the laptop but im worried if I take off the bottom screws I would void warranty
Sir please what problem Please enter setup to recover bios setting. USB device over current status desectdd System will shut down after 15 seconds What be problem sir be
Just got my laptop and decided to install my old hdd for my files. Checked the ribbon cable and it was literally not even attached to the sata connector. Thanks Acer!
yea u can upgrade by yourself but then i think its gonna violate the warranty if u open the back case by yourself also the employee in Acer knew u open the back case cause the last screw is actually cover by a sticker(sealing tape)
I removed the back cover and the hard drives comes with it. The hard drive conectors are now useless? Smn has had this incident? I got the No bootable device error
Bro please help me when your laptop get black screen and you see your laptop from left or right side you screen see as blue plz bro replay Acer nitro 5 rx560x 3500h
I need help so I installed the RAM and the hard drive 2.5 turn I turned it on and got the black screen. I started troubleshooting I took out the hard drive and left a new Ram in and it turned on and it read the new Ram 32 gigs not 16 anymore like it came with it's not taking the hard drive for some reason.
Does the laptop actually come with the hard drive that the cable must be plugged into or must it be bought separately? Pls anyone answer if they know, and what kind of hard drive specifically must I buy if it is bought separately?
I have tried 2 different drives and 3 different cables. Everytime the cable gets bent and twisted. Don't know what to do next. I use my laptop for school so I cant exactly send it in right away.
Ich habe den Acer Nitro 5 NH.QAWEV.002 AN517-52-71C7 gekauft, mit 2x 8 GB Ram und I7 Prozessor. Es ist also nur ein M2 Steckplatz PCIe? Der 2. M2 und der 2,5" Steckplatz sind SATA? Wenn ich bei Ram Riegel tausche, kann ich da auch mehr als 2666 Mhz nehmen, oder würden z.b. 3200 Mhz da nix bringen, wenn ich beide tausche? Ich würde gerne auf 32 GB aufrüsten und noch eine zusätzliche 1 TB SSD verbauen. Danke übrigens für das Video. 😊
right above the replacement harddrive is a slot for the ram just plug the ram drive into it and then you got more ram you can tell because the ram drive from factory is parallel to it
No, upgrading or installing any hardware(like SSD, HDD, RAM) on the Acer laptop will not void the warranty, even if you break the seal. The warranty will void only if you break anything during the process. ... DO NOT TRY TO UPGRADE your laptop yourself.... or do just dont break anything
hi my laptop is not charging and both lights are blinking. Is it charger problem or battery ?(its a nitro 5 AN515-44) what should i do?.. its only been 4 months since i bought it :(
Really? Any 7mm laptop hard drive... As far as regular hard drives are concerned, a hard drive is a hard drive, unless it's one of those Seagate barracudas or wd Black or something, which are even better.
Can someone from acer support please contact me in anyway? The website log in has been down for AGES and multiple links on the website were removed and no longer exist. Im trying to access my warranty but the case time has expired and it tells me to contact someone but the link DOESN'T EVEN WORK. I even tried opening up a new repair case but when I try to submit it just buffers for hours. There's no email on the website either and I can't access the live chat. I've tried everything.
My d drive is not showing even in disk management. Tho there are times that it appears in bios. Everyday I have to restart just for it show up. I have an acer nitro 5....how do i fix ir
If you lose your D: drive when you hibernate or go to sleep then it could be the motherboard or the drive. I am assuming this is your second SSD and not your main drive. If you have another drive I would clone that drive to it and use it. If that one doesn't disconnect then it was the drive. If it does then you might want to see if you can get a warranty replacement for your Mobo.
You can contact Acer support and get one sent out. I did last month and think it took like 3-4 days though I didn't get the screws with the bracket. They are m 3x3 though
when you download a game it takes storage. A laptop or pc has an SSD (a solid state drive) which has your storage capacity. Lets say my ssd has 256 gigabytes of capacity. And a game i downloaded takes up 248 storage. then i have 8 gigabytes left but i doubt that's enough to get a second game. so assuming your laptop or pc has an hdd (Hard drive) It does the same thing an ssd does. it has adds more storage capacity allowing you to get more games.
I have an technical problem, could you help me? I have an laptop (Acer Aspire E5) that doesn‘t boot. What I can say: Earlier it had normal boot times. But like 2 weeks before the problem, it suddenly had longer boot-times/loading-times.The last use it loaded 30-45 minutes (!!!) and then showed the logo. And before the last use, also 4/6/7/8/... minutes. After it loaded into Windows, it was... normal. And now it completely stopped booting. The single thing I see is a very weak flash/blink every 1.3 seconds. Can you help me?

A video on how to upgrade RAM would be great!
It's actually very simple
You take the back off like he did here, take out the Ram cards in there, put in your new ones... And probably disconnect the battery like he did in this video before you switch them.
I just did the ram it’s very simple if you’d like there are many tutorials that other people have made
Same process but a lot more simple literally just clips in place
Literally just download it
Thank you for the upload!
I want to add HDD but i'm worrying about warranty's broking. Can you all explain that issue guys?

No, this does not void warranty.

Hello i does the same of you but i can't see my disk in drive any help?
So if I want to install 2ndary SSD by myself is it possible and is it going to violate guarantee terms?
It will
Yes, it will. You should wait until your guarantee is over before open your notebook.
What is the maximum capacity for HDD? Can I install the 2 tb HDD?
Excelente tutorial

your PC's HDD is most likely 3.5" and if so won't fit. For alaptop HDD you need to buy a 2.5" HDD form factor

Best contact Acer customer support in your country for that.
The parts can be easily found online, but their compatibility can't be guaranteed.
@@MrScottBull Easily found on-line? Where? I have looked everywhere and have had no luck. I have a Nitro 5 AN517-52. I need the SSD cable and screws.
You can get the cable from Acer support and you can get the screws off Amazon. The m3x3 just worked for the one I installed a few minutes ago

Would you have to factory reset the computer afterwards?
no bro
yea u can upgrade by yourself but then i think its gonna violate the warranty if u open the back case by yourself also the employee in Acer knew u open the back case cause the last screw is actually cover by a sticker(sealing tape)
It doesn't violate the warranty. Only violate it if you take the whole motherboard out. That's like saying you can't get it upgraded at all
They wouldn't include screws for you to upgrade the drive if they would void your warranty for using them...
So is this just replacing the old hard drive with an upgraded one? Or is this an actual additional hard drive added?
it's and additional hard drive
This is adding a second hard drive. It already has 500GB but he added 256GB
Additional, like the title of the video says.
