@@UbergeeksBiz man pls, thanks for ur video, could u tell me pls, how thick the thermal compound should be? Ive replaced it with arctic 1.5mm, and notebook now overheats at 95-100 degrees, i dont understand how thick this thermal compound should be
this is what i am looking for , i never comment on any video ever but you hard work forced me to do so , i humbly thank you for this , great work now i am confident in replacing or upgrading my nitro5 without any worries
possible to just clean the fan without getting the whole heat sink out right? coz i saw part in your video that it's just being hold by a tape, the fan.
i really need your help mate there a blue cable flat and large who is supposed to be connected juste under the ram from under the battery and there a black thing holding it and that black thing juste poped out the pc still work but battery have a performance problem how can i put it back that thing and how the blue thing is supposed to be connected
Thank you so much for this video! My gpu suddenly stopped performing well. So I popped the lappy open and gave the fans a good cleaning, worked like a charm 👍
So you can have bit a hard drive and a ssd installed? Which one did you have before 6:53 when you pulled out the cable for installing an additional one?
This video is hella useful for me especially when replacing, cleaning and upgrading my laptop. The QR code is very useful to look for the right parts to replace. Also doing this is 100% void warranty so do it at very risk. Before buying a gaming laptop, you need to make a full research on it before deciding on which laptop is suitable for your taste. Price doesn't matter but the quality build of the product does. Don't mind the reviews and stick to your personal reference. Thanks a lot for the information! Cheers!
I have the same model as you, but slightly updated. The problem I‘be noticed though, is that their are springs attached to the screws that hold down the middle heat sink, and as far as I’m aware of there’s no way to take out the screws. What should I do about that?
Wont power on? I thought keyboard may be shot. I opened it up watched this. At 11:39 the keyboard connector. I noticed it slid right out locked. I moved the 2 clips like he said put it back in, locked clips. It worked! Powered on. It must not have been put in all the way during manufacturing and came lose. Hope that helps someone.
To change the touchpad, do you have to take the entire motherboard out? I can't tell if those little circles on the top of it (slightly below the mobo) are held down by screws or just click into place.
@@UbergeeksBiz I actually did it today (before you responded), turns out you don't need the motherboard out at all. It just snaps in and out. I was scared to try it, so I loosened the mobo/heatsink/ssd and did it the hard way, unfortunately. So many tiny screws to keep track of! lol, I had to write a labeled piece of paper with circles for the screws to get them all back in the right place.
Thanks for the video. I have a question. Is the CPU located to the left and the GPU to the right of the laptop (when looking at the screen and in open condition) or vise versa? The reason I ask this is because the central and right side of the keyboard gets really hot under load, so I wanted to know which of them is located to the right. CPU or GPU? Thanks.
What do you think about the charging port and the hinge? I'm a bit worried about the charging port design because you need to push the charging pin harder.
Keyboard and mouse pad completely stopped working. Had my last laptop for 13 years before getting nitro. Remove and reinsert the battery would fix almost anything on the old one. Find there's no battery opening...long story short I only needed to watch to the part where y i u disconnect the battery. Stayed for the rest of the video and now think I'll add and extra ssd. Very clear and easy to understand. Plus found heaps of fluff built up on fans that I cleaned with the vacuum cleaner. Thanks.
Bhai mera bas aik doubt hai Issme jo HHD ke liye jagah hai battery ke bagal me uski depth barabar hai kaya battery ki depth ke, I was planning , ki HHD na laga kar usi sapce ka use karte hue battery to replace kar sakte hai kaya? 57 whr ko replace karke 90 whr ki battery laga de
Whoever made the video is wrong, it's not thermal pads that are pink, it's thermal putty which is like thermal paste but more viscous, If you use thermal pads instead of thermal putty, it is likely that the CPU and GPU that use thermal paste will not make enough contact with the heatsinks.
Useful but the one part I was hoping you would address was removal f the trackpad . I have to replace mine and you disconnected the cables but is the trackpad a permanent part like the keayboard? of is it remmovable?
I hope my laptop is the same setup with the punchd keyboard backer. Im sitting in front of my Acer nitro 5 with the backplate off and trying to find a video that shows how I get to the keyboard to clean underneath it after a drink spill.... Some ISO if it gets sticky I guess.. appreciate the detailed teardown and expert opinion.
I only need to replace a fan, do I need to disconnect the battery first and then start disconnecting whatever is connected to the fan? Or sdo I need to disconnect everything in the order that you did? Heat sync is fine, only need to replace fan.
Thank you so much actually my lapi just wet un rain water while iwas return from office and also late night i check system not working then i find RUclips how its open n solved problems i seen finally Good❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Is the tape on the battery necessary for function? I had to dissamble mine to reset the CMOS and ended up removing the battery as well just to be safe. I ended up messing the tape up though :/
Just watching this video discourages me to open the back of my laptop(Nitro 5 AN515-55). This thing looks very complex than other laptop disassembling videos I have seen before I mean the heat sink assembly. I am very scared to repaste on my own now. But new RAM and SSD installation is easy. Thanks for the video. Very insightful. Liked and subscribed.
Good to know that plate cannot be removed for the keyboard. The ribbon cable has come loose on the other side on mine. It's a common problem with this brand and, is an easy fix on most other machines however since there's no way to get to the keyboard it destroys the entire machine as the power button is on the keyboard. Seems like an intentional flaw.
There is a green light(or bulb) blinking inside in the backside(botton) of laptop.I was able to notice it from the space given in the backpannel to see fans. Same Model. Is it a problem?
Great video Sir. I have a quick question if I remove the Battery and plug the laptop directly into the power source, will it affect the laptop's performance later on? or power issues maybe? Thanks.
I got question on what the two object that was part of the back lid? I have the same laptop, but it keep force shutdown. The thing I know how to stop the force shutdown is to remove the backlid and put it back on. I checked on the program of what the cause, but nothing is causing it. That two of the greenpad melt off those piece that I overheated my laptop by playing a game that cause the fan auto run. Do these object have a purpose on the back-lid?
Can you help me to decide between this ACER Nitro 5 and **Asus Tuf / 11400H / 3050 / 16GB I heared the ASUS TUF heat alot more then Acer. So what to pick?
@@DanteGaia I know, but there are other laptops with the same mini Sata conector. // It does not come with that mini Sata cable... so, I'm looking for it!!
Can you please tell me the model of the motherboard? My nitro 5 is N20C1 but it's the AN515-55-71UB, and I wanted to know if I could just buy that ram.
Bro what that red paste(U called it thermal cooling pad) i have arctic mx-4 thermal paste can i replace that red thermal cooling pad with arctic mx-4 paste? Is arctic mx-4 good for i7 9750h and gtx 1660ti

Best video others did not dare to tear down all laptop thank u now I can upgrade my ram and hdd now
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
One question, if we need to repaste the heatsink and change the CPU/GPU fan, do we need to tear off the CMOS battery?
Great detailed break down. I'll be doing this in a few days.
Good luck with your repair
Thank you. Got nitro 5 and just have it returned from service so it helps me to understand whats going on
can i remove just those fans to clean dust without removing whole heatsink ?
This video is perfect because i need to remove/disconnect the battery to replace my screen using another video by this guy😅 so thanks
Thank you for this teardown, helped alot to know how to remove the heatsink, now i can start to look up upgrades for my laptop too, thank you!
I get to clean the fans of my nitro because of this. Thank you very much!

Hello, excellent video🧨. I have a question: what thickness and measurements should I look for for the pink thermo pads to buy and replace them?
Wont power on? I thought keyboard may be shot. I opened it up watched this. At 11:39 the keyboard connector. I noticed it slid right out locked. I moved the 2 clips like he said put it back in, locked clips. It worked! Powered on. It must not have been put in all the way during manufacturing and came lose. Hope that helps someone.
Great. I'm glad it worked for you
Still helpful at end of 2024, thanks!
I used this video to clean and upgrade mi laptop thank you!
can i ask what's the size of the thermal pad? espcially yhe height if i want to buy.
Very helpful! Thanks to you now i know where to put on my upgrade Ram & SSD.
Glad I could help!
Very detailed on everything except the one thing I wanted to see... the placement of the video cable in relation to the hinge...
Thanks a lot. Was searching for this video for a very long time. Thank you very much.
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
3:18 you cannot perform any actions on the motherboard connected to the battery!
Could or do you have a video to replace the hinges on this exact laptop? Thank you.
Sorry I do not
To change the touchpad, do you have to take the entire motherboard out? I can't tell if those little circles on the top of it (slightly below the mobo) are held down by screws or just click into place.

Amazing guide!
Wanted to know what is that orange paste on the Vrams?
hi quick Q, do you need to replace the pink thermal pads? & if so can I replace it with normal thermal paste? thanks
where is the reset battery for this kind of laptop?
No reset
Thanks for the video. I have a question. Is the CPU located to the left and the GPU to the right of the laptop (when looking at the screen and in open condition) or vise versa? The reason I ask this is because the central and right side of the keyboard gets really hot under load, so I wanted to know which of them is located to the right. CPU or GPU? Thanks.
CPU on the left and GPU on the right @ 17:30
What do you think about the charging port and the hinge? I'm a bit worried about the charging port design because you need to push the charging pin harder.
Sir, do i need to replace the thermals pads on my GPU?
Might be thermal paste. Yes, for better cooling

If particles or debris get inside the exhaust part of the fan, will it get to the cooling fan or no?

do i have to unplug the battery before installing a new ram? or just plug it in no problem?
Cqn you have 2 different m.2? The first came with the laptop and second is different would it still work or i have to get the same
9:32
Yes. You can have two M.2
Useful but the one part I was hoping you would address was removal f the trackpad . I have to replace mine and you disconnected the cables but is the trackpad a permanent part like the keayboard? of is it remmovable?
Permanent part of keyboard and palmrest
Is the pre-installed SSD hard drive hidden under the construction or is it inaccessible?
Hi can we upgrade gpu and cpu ? Or they are integrated to the motherboard?

What's about the graphics card? Where is it located?
Great review. I wanted to upgrade my Ram, my SSD and HDD too. What specific model can you recommend? Thanks.
can i hold the installed ram and install another ram with different brand> or don't work? sorry for my english
Does opening the fans part will void the warranty?
I only need to replace a fan, do I need to disconnect the battery first and then start disconnecting whatever is connected to the fan? Or sdo I need to disconnect everything in the order that you did? Heat sync is fine, only need to replace fan.
Better disconnect battery first before you start replacing the fan.
Can you remove the logic board without removing the heat sink?
