- Upgrading my Acer Aspire VN7-571g-55BL with an M.2 SSD.
Everything worked out fine. After this Video i just migrated my system harddrive to the new SSD. That was realy a pain in the ass so i recommend just to make a clean new windows installation after this Upgrade. That way you can be sure to get the most out of the upgrade.
Hi, good video. I did the upgrade yesterday with a western digital green M2 2280 WDS120G1G0B. For everyone, who would like the upgrade the following, during lifting the keyboard:
If you have removed the screws from the underneath, don't press at the corners and don't use your fingernails to lift the keyboard. It is quit easy to lift the keyboard with a small cotter or something like a debit card. It that case you can gently release the clips around the keybord bezel.
Everything else is discribed in the video. I needed just 15 minutes to disassable the notebook, add the m.2 ssd and reassamble the notebook. My m.2 ssd was directly found in the bios and the windows installation went fine. Even I had already an SSHD drive installed the notebook speeds up a lot. I really ca recommend to install a real ssd. For exable the notebook boots up (it was completely shutted down, not in the hybrite mode) in less then 10 seconds. Before it was around 45 seconds (also after an installation with the same programs.
Thanks for the feedback! I wanted to open my laptop to remove dust for a while now. I'll try to use a debit card for that ^^ nice tip, thanks
Thanks for this video. It spent an aged but still good notebook a second life for reasonable money. I'd like to add that it is MUCH better to get the WLAN module out with the antennas attached than to try to pry off the tiny antenna connectors. You may end up pulling the socket off the board, rendering both the module and the antenna useless and giving you the chance for an upgrade of the WLAN module too... 😕
First, thanks to the uploader for uploading this, it was very useful when performing the m.2 installation. It was a great pain in the a** to do this but I'm finally done and everything seems to be working.
I went into small panic mode after performing the installation as the laptop would not turn off on key press, unless the charger was connected. Luckily, one other person had the same issue here in the comments, so the solution is to put the plastic back together, only then does the batter works for some reason.
So yeah, thanks again for the guide, and a middle finger to acer for making this so hard.
i just did this operation, the extra ram wont show up on bios (+ option
is grey for ram) or my computer info nor even ccleaner. Speccy only
shows it... how i can take it on use? also the m2ssd dont show up on
memory, 2,5" sata ssd does and works great. But the ram and M2 what
should try to get em workin properly
First, thanks so much for posting this video. I think it's great when people share their knowledge/experience like this. As a tip for next time, I think this video would have been much more valuable if you'd set up the camera so that it had a clear, overhead view of the laptop while you were working.
Thanks for the feedback :)
Absolutely amazing. Legend. Thank you so kuch5
I've bought additional RAM and am preparing to install it- conducting my research first. I cannot believe how complicated a task Acer have made it. This is a perfect example of poor design. I previously owned a MacBook pro which was simple and straightforward to upgrade. Why oh why does it have to be such an assault course?
HOW MANY RAM SLOT DOES V15 NITRO HAS ? I ALREADY HAVE 8GB RAM BUT WANT TO ADD MORE, IS IT POSSIBLE ?
Gret Video, Helped me out, some videos for VN7 but different motherboards, so I was happy to see this one!!! Thank you!!!
Thank You, this video tutorial was beneficial. I was looking to upgrade the M2 drive to a larger capacity. Nicely Done, and again, my thanks.
Super informative and comprehensive! thanks!
Many thanks, still working!
this video stopped from buying this laptop. the amount of stuff you have to do to upgrade your laptop is beyond stupid on a gaming laptop. gaming laptops should have panels to acess the hardware not having to take the entire laptop apart to get to the hardware.
Just upgraded my Acer and wife's Lenovo, what a difference. When I buy another laptop I'll check how many screws need to be removed. I'm taking Acer off the list of possible replacements.
Hey, I have both a HDD and a SSD on my acer aspire v17 black edition. I wanted to ask you where exactly is the ssd located in the laptop and also does your warranty expire if you open the laptop?
Hi there! I wanted to install new SSD in my laptop but it cannot find the 2,5" SSD nor M2 SSD in UEFI.. I dont know what to do, need help!
Thanks, the video was very helpfull for my ram upgrade.
Did you upgrade to 32 gb ram?
Hi, thanks for your video.
I did it like you did and it is working. Great, but i got little issues when i want to build it together.
First i bought the same SSD from Amazon for 99€.
Opening was easy, but i did it different, cause it seems for me better. I did it from the front, i took a Kreditkart instead of my nails and it was very easy.
Putting up the Kabels is easy. The big one is for the keyboard. when i put everything together, the keyboard was not working. I had to try 4 times till my Keyboard was working. You have to move the mounting forward, put the cabel in and than move the mountings back. not like the other ones up and down.
And i got problems with the cabels from the Wlan Modul. I got luck and saw that one of the two aerial cabels jumps out. this is so small that it took a while to put it back again.
After that i had to inilize the ssd under Windows and format the drive, than it works perfect.
I think with this video everybody can do that if he got calm hands.
thanks for help.
+bebe München
I recognized that my speakers are not working now :)
+bebe München glad you could solve some of your issues. of course touching the inside of a laptop is always a bit risky but being careful helps :D i'm not sure how the speakers are connected to the mainboard but maybe you forgot to reattatch one of the cables? Can you still use Headphones? just to be sure that your soundchip is working properly.
oh yes, i forgot the cabel on the right side to plug in :)
thanks. now everything is working perfect.
The SSD was a great choice, the laptop is now really fast. before i got only 500GB normal harddrive
Nice work, thanks for sharing it !
Hola!, podrias decirme si esta notebook soporta los M2 NVME?? Muchas gracias
Hey,
I have an issue with a VN7-571g (5050). I replaced the dvd drive with an ssd bay and when i boot it up it says "pxe-e61 media test failure check cable".
Cables are all in and it neither finds the ssd nor the build in HDD - even if i insert the dvd drive with a bootable win 7 disk it doesnt load it up.
Bios says that the laptop doesnt have any harddrives (which is obv untrue)
Laptop is running in legacy mode - switching to UEFI with and without secure boot doesnt change anything. The fact that even the build in DVD drive isnt properly addressed makes me wondering if the SATA controller was defect by default (didnt boot the laptop prior to the dvd-bay replacement though)
Did you come across this error some time during your hardware changes / Do you have any idea what to do - except shipping it back?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Much thanks in advance - me :)
+»BoH.Crew×IRA™ hmm na sorry i have no experience with such replacements. but yeah, maybe it was defect before your replacement :D better always check the functionality of the hardware before replacing anything
Does anybody else who has this laptop have problems with the wireless at all? It's got a Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4 wireless network adapter. It's really weird. Sometimes it works fine, and sometimes it doesn't work at all. The range on it seems to be pretty horrible as well. It does this even when other wireless devices are working fine, and I have the most current driver for it.
And if the wireless card just needs to be replaced altogether, any recommendations for which wireless card I can or should replace it with? Please help!
I have VN7-791g and I have the same problem... When I connect my WiFi the wifi logo disappear turn to LAN logo and say I can't connect to network... And sometimes it work fine.... Shitty wireless card.
+Kras3169 at home everything works great but at school the WIFI takes about 15 minutes to connect (or I have to reboot several times etc.)
+Kras3169 I had the same probleme at begin. In fact it happend only when i used it on battery. It is cause of the management of economy of energie. Just change your management of your wireless card to 'best performance' when using on battery. Then it work perfectly. Sorry for my bad english.
+Julien34B Thanks your for your response. I will try it, and see if it helps. I also bought a Wireless Range Extender, and that seemed to help. Your English was good, no need to apologize. Thanks again.
***** I throw that shitty Qualcomm card away and change to Intel AC 7265....working fine.
HOW MANY RAM SLOT DOES VN7-571g HAS ? I ALREADY HAVE 8GB RAM BUT WANT TO ADD MORE, IS IT POSSIBLE ?
Hello! Can you help me ?. I have acer aspire vn7-571-53hs. I want buy ssd for this laptop. But I dont know which ssd i need nvme ? or nvm express or other. Which one support my laptop ?
Thanks for the answer.
Not Sure but I bought this one: www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B00KLTPUYG/ref=ya_aw_oh_bia_dp?ie=UTF8&psc=1
is there an M.2 slot on the aspire v15 nitro VN7-572G-75AJ just like your laptop? sorry for the late comment in 2018
OkaOscar that i Don t know, sorry
Martianbuddah all good brother
Nice video! Thank you. I have exactly same laptop and think about upgrade. Do you know, is it compatible with PCIe SSD's like Kingston SHPM2280P2?
+Євген Ковалевський No, sorry. I dont' know. Initially i was interested in a pcie ssd too but i didn't find any information about the slot in this laptop so i decided that a normal ssd is good enough ^^ Maybe there is something written on the mainboard next to the slot?
+Martianbuddah i must go to service center for this, because warranty doesn't finished yet:(
+Євген Ковалевський Hmm no the warranty isn't affected by this. you can open the laptop and upgrade it with an m.2 without breaking the warranty, i have asked the shop where i bought it, so that is for sure. ( Of course, if you break anything while doing it, the warranty doesn't hold ).
Oh, it's nice! Thank you!
Thank you for the very helpful video. Does the missing screw on the main board make it wobbly and not secure?
+Nathan Yu Nope, the Mainboard is well in place without the screw. The USB and HDMI Slots are holding the Mainboard in place within the Case very tightly. You'll see that when you try to get the mainboard out after unscrewing the two screws. I still dont have any problems with the laptop until now, no wobbing, nothing ... But of course i would not recommend to do it like this :D better ask the shop where you buy your ssd if they can give you the right screw if it is not already included.
+Martianbuddah I have decided on replacing the HDD instead of using the M.2 slot. Btw, can you also do a video on how your laptop performs with the new SSD? Such as bootup, launching applications, etc.
+Nathan Yu Jup, i can do that. I'm Using Windows 7 and Linux Mint in Dual Boot so i'ts not a perfect Setup for a bootup speed test but i'll find a way to show it off. Give me a few days, i think i'll do it on the weekend.
+Martianbuddah No worries, take your time.
+Nathan Yu The video is done and uploaded, you can find it in my channel
hello ! really nice video, it'll be helpful for me !
I've a question, i have the Acer V Nitro VN7-571G-50YQ and i don't know if there is this m2 slot too, do you know somehting about that ? thanks :)
+Mathieu Foucher yup, i'm pretty sure it will look almost the same inside that laptop. vn7-571g is the name of the mainboard, the 50YQ just determines the rest of the configuration ( like, hard drives, graphics card, processor etc. ). But as long as there is no ssd in your configuration, i'm certain there will be a free m.2 slot inside your laptop.
Hi i got a little question, I want to, as u did, add an ssd on my laptop.
And also clean the dust, and why not change thermal paste.
But before starting something like this, i want to be sure it's possible.
I got the Acer Aspire VN7-571G-51S3.
But it already had and hybrid hard drive with 8go on flash memory.
Does it still possible ?
And by the way, it was a cool vidéo, thanks for u'r time !
Sorry for my terrible english :)
Hiho, yes that should be possible. Cleaning dust is always a good idea, Changing thermal paste i dont know ... i think i would not do that but if you are sure that you are going to make it better, do it ^^.
And yes, the Hybrid drive with 8gb flash is usually just one component like a normal hard drive, so the ssd upgrade should be possible as shown in the video.
I may have missed something here, but how did Windows boot up and recognise new hardware after you installed the new SSD? Isn't the Windows installation on the SSD, and the HDD is just used for data?
the ssd does not have a windows installation out of the box. so after pluging it in, windows still boots from the hdd as before, you have to migrate the system manually from hdd to ssd.
Hi, I got the same laptop. Instead of upgrading to a 256Go only SSD, is it possible to upgrade to a 500Go or even 1To SSD ? Will these higher capacities be recognized by the system?
I am not sure if there is a limit but I think 1tb should be no issue
@@Martianbuddah Guess I'll see... Thanks for your answer
@@harry_3332 hey. Let me give you some advice! DON'T try to put a NVME SSD regardless of its size, that's what I tried to do and the laptop is too old to read these drives. I had to re-buy another SSD, this time a M2 SATA 500gb, and it worked perfectly. Wish I had known before but hey, at least I managed to get it working. Huge loading gains. I think the laptop can also support a 1tb. So my suggestion for you is to buy a M2 SATA (not nvme!!) and it'll change your laptop! While you're at it, you should also clean your laptop's fans (remove dust) and change the CPU's thermal paste. It'll improve noise and lifespan
My laptop is vn7-572G-57N0
1. What kind of M2 ssd should I buy for it? since the connector of M2 have 3 kind.
After a quick google research i would say it should be a 2280 slot. If you want to be sure you can open the laptop and measure the slot. the last to numbers of 22XX stand for the length of the module. 80=8cm, 60=6cm, 40=4cm
is it possible to replace the hdd with ssd on the bottom right? instead of unscrewing and lifting the main board
+Sky13oii jup, sure. the m.2 slot has the advantage of having 2 harddrives in your laptop. I really like having this additional storage drive but if you dont need it, replacing the 2.5'' hdd is a good option. ( the performance of a single 2.5'' ssd might even be better than my configuration)
ich hab die ssd verbaut - sie wird auch erkannt. nur funktioniert meine batterie nicht mehr. sie wird erkannt und angenlich auch aufgeladen... aber sobald ich den stecker rausziehe schaltet sich der laptop instant ab. weisst du vllt wieso?
+Gen Itiv komische sache. ich würde erst mal checken ob der Stecker vom Akku richtig im Mainboard steckt. Das ist der Stecker der rechts neben dem Laufwerk ist
+Martianbuddah hi danke fuer deine antwort. ich musste alle schrauben wieder reinsetzen. erst dann laesst es sich im akkumodus einschalten. ich erkannte es zufaellig an einem batteriesymbol bei einer bestimmten schraube. ich denke es dient als schutzmechanismus, da man unter strom nicht arbeiten soll :D quasi idioten sicher gestaltet. ich wollt es halt testen bevor ich es komplett zusammenbaue und ich bekam dann im ersten moment voll die panik xD danke. also ich hoffe das lesen auch die anderen, dann wissen sie bescheid
Hello, I have a problem. I recently removed the keyboad of my v nitro to put a ssd in. I have the same v nitro as you. I removed all the cords (keyboard, mouse, lights) like you did but when i put it back together everything worked except for the red lights. Nothing seems to be damaged. The pins are not damaged and the cord seems fine. Do you know what i should do?? PLEASE HELP ANYONE. Thanks
+Tony Taouk Hard to tell without seeing it :D i can only imagine that the cable that is used for the keyboard lighting isnt plugged in the right way. But i guess you already tried reattaching all the cables more carefully?
Yes i did it like 10 times,
i had the same problem.! make sure u put the cable into the connector. and not on the "floor"of the board. i made that mistake like 10 times.. so watch good where u put the cable.
I'm sorry for my English, I'm Studying The languaje.. well
I have a laptop like yours, But is VN7-571-761Q , it has the same, and i want to ask;
What type of Optic Unit is? because my portatil haven't the Disc Player,
Can be any Unit? or Should be that specific style?
and too i want to ask if too, What type of card can i put? because too My Acer haven't Graphic card,
Can you help me? seriously, very thanks
It should work with other models of the vn7-571g series as well.
Of course there are also versions without an optical drive and without a graphics card. To upgrade with an optical DVD drive should not be a big problem, but to install a graphics card may be a little harder. Anyway i can't give you tutorials about that because i have never done that myself ^^
Then.. can i buy any optical drive? if so, then, Ok, and well, I'll try to get the graphics card, even if is hard to find it.
I'm very grateful for your answer, Thank you,
And my last quiestion, for The Ram Memory can it be any type? or Specific? because too i have only one this, and want add one more of 8Gb.
My apologies, very thank you!!!!
Hi is it possible to get out the key's by 1 and clean underneath it? And how is it done? I'm afraid of breaking something... Ty
+michiel pizza I dont know, sorry :D didn't feel the need to clean underneath my keyboard yet.
Hi, don't know if you got your answer, but it's something you can do easily once you know how the jeys are attached.
For the main keys (A,Z,E,R...), the top of them is inserted and the bottom of the is cliped. So you have to pull the key off pressing the top of the key and pulling the bottom of the key. Usually there's no risk of break.
For the other keys, the thing is to find the cliped side and the inserted side. Just train with the usual keys till you see the force you usually need to get off the key and then try on the other keys, if it's not enough try from the other sides till it works. ;)
I have exactly this computer too, and it took me some time at the beginning but you can do it !
Would creating the new windows install automatically activate it?
Uhm no, activation normally doesn't happen automatically.
Hello Friend I bought my notebook aspire v 15 nitro And so the pc works with feeding cable plugged in If you take the feeding cable and

+Miguel Martins Sorry for the late response. Some other guy in the comments had the same issue. He forgot to plug in one of the cables that is attached to the mainboard. Make sure they are all plugged in, one is coming from the battery

I am waiting for your reply .................
Vielen, herzlichen Dank für das tolle Video. Habe vorher eine WD Blue SSD in meinen Acer VN7-571G-71SE ohne Probleme eingebaut. So schnell war der PC noch nie...
Nur die eine Schraube fehlt nun. Weiß jemand, wo man eine solch dünne Schraube bekommt?
Do you know dimensions of m2 on acer aspire V5 591G,,
.Please let me know
+milan josic Well i'm not an acer specialist ^^ but in my laptop its 2280 as i said ... guess you have to research that information for yourself :/
Danke für die Einblicke. Du schreibst, dass Du die Systemübertragung erst nach dem Einbau gemacht hast. Wäre also ratsam, das davor bzw. ggf. nach dem Ausbau einer vorhandenen zu kleinen und dem Einbau einer größeren primären SSD zu machen. Z.B. über einen USB 3 nach M.2 Adapter. Was denkst Du darüber?
Ja das wäre wahrscheinlich ratsam. Da ich solche Eingriffe natürlich nicht regelmäßig mache bin ich auch nicht sicher was hier die perfekte Vorgehensweise ist. Was bei mir auf jeden Fall zu Problemen geführt hat, war die Windows Registry die irgendwie nach der Migration teilweise nicht mit den Laufwerksbezeichnungen klargekommen ist. Ich denke wenn ich es noch mal machen müsste würde ich die Migration vorher machen und das System dann ein mal starten während nur die SSD eingebaut ist. Dann die alte Platte sichern&formatieren und ebenfalls einbauen. Vielleicht läuft das dann reibungsloser ab ^^
OK, also ich habe mir eine 1TB Samsung SSD Evo 860 EVO SATA M.2 gekauft sowie einen USB3.0 zu M.2 Adapter (ca. 29€) und vor dem Umbau mit dem kostenlosen Migration Tool von Samsung einen Klon der alten 128GB M.2 SSD auf die neue SSD gezogen (ca. 20 Min). Der Tausch der SSDs, der natürlich sofort danach erfolgen sollte, brauchte dann mit etwas Konzentration 20 Minuten. Man sollte noch den Lüfter etwas aussaugen und schauen, ob die Netzteil Buchse nicht losgebrochen (ist meist der Fall, kann man mit Heißkleber wieder fixieren). Das BIOS wollte das neue Boot Device beim ersten Hochfahren bestätigt haben. Das war alles. Hat super geklappt. Vielleicht kannst Du diese Info noch in Deinen Beschreibungstext aufnehmen, denn das mit der Neuinstallation ist ja nicht so der Hit.
@@FlexibleBladeTurbine Danke für das Feedback. Freut mich das alles gut gegangen ist. Ich lass die Beschreibung mal so wie sie ist, da ich selbst einfach zu wenig Erfahrung mit Migration habe um da gute allgemeingülte Ratschläge hinzuschreiben. Denke abhängig von der gekauften SSD & dem ursprünglichen setup (evtl wie bei mir mit Betriebssystem ursprünglich auf der HDD, die drin bleibt) kann da immer iwas schief gehen und ne Neuinstallation ist da der einfachste saubere weg. Dennoch hast du mal zwei Herzen für die Kommentare bekommen sodass die vielleicht von Migrationsinteressierten gesehen werden ^^
did you use m.2 nvme or m.2 sata ssd? thanks which of the two?
sata
Did you do a video on the os migration and bios setup for booting from the new ssd.
no, i think there should be plenty of tutorials on that, cause it is pretty similar for all kinds of laptops
Hi, thanks for the video. I see that your m.2 ssd has B+M key combination. Don't you remember by any chance was the m.2 socket the same (i.e. 2 keys)?
Sorry, i overlooked your comment when u posted it ... I didn't even realise there are several types of m2. keys Oo thanks for the hint. Sadly, i can't tell you what key the socket was. :/
I have this also, I used the Crucial scanner and it stated it has a B+M slot.
I just pulled one of these apart today. The M.2 socket is M key.
Thanks for the video. My model is vn7-571g-51xh. I want to upgrade my (existing hybrid 8gb ssd+1 tb hdd) laptop with a m.2 ssd but too confused which one to buy. Will samsung evo plus be compatible? please guide me.
Hey. You just have to make sure that it is a 2280 model with SATA ( not PCIe / NVMe ) connection. You could go for samsung, but other manifacturers like crucial and wd are usually cheaper. Here some amazon links, i would go for one of those i think:

@@Martianbuddah thanks a lot buddy. I will take a look and decide one. I called the customer care of acer and believe me that they told me about the possibility of incompatibility.. the frequency needs to match ..there was no way for me to match that. But since you have confirmed that all the above are compatible and its just about 2280 then i will go for it .
@@Martianbuddah also the story sbout type of connector .B type and M type .i was confused.. bdw .my next question would be how to transfer the OS from the existing hybrid hard disk i have to the new ssd which i will put and do u recommend backing up the data before i do that ..thanks in advance
Well i don't know what they mean by frequency tbh ... The connector you see in this video i think is called b+m type ( it has 2 gaps inbetween the pins just as the ones from the amazon links i posted ). I recommed backing up all your data and doing a clean new installation of your OS. If you want to try to copy your OS to the new SSD, i cannot help you with that. But if you google for migration from HDD to m.2 ssd you will probably find something useful.
@@Martianbuddah thanks lot for your comment. u r right about the connector .it is indeed b+m.. however, the connector in my laptop seems look like M type as it just has one gap (photo- drive.google.com/folderview?id=1-POlc4__LuP6piAdN_uw8dknxM0uuOJo). Now I m again confused because if I just look at the ports, NVME makes more sense to me rather than SATA. Sorry to bother you for this long but please let me know your thoughts. If its not about how the port looks I will go ahead with the ones u suggested above. Greetings from India.
hilfreich aber ein gelegentlicher wechsel der kameraperspektive z.b. um das mainboard besser beurteilen zu können wäre wünschenswert.
Z.b. zur Beurteilung ob man zur Speichererweiterung ein weiteres Modul einsetzen kann oder das bestehende austauschen muss.
Great video, i have two questions, is it possible to install a video card in this model?? and the second one, this laptop supports 16 gb ram (so i can upgrade it)??
+theCronoceptor Sorry for the late response.the last time i opened the laptop was for this video so i'm not sure about the possibilities anymore. As there is a graphics card in my laptop, i'm pretty sure that upgrade should be possible. ( So if you dont have a graphics card in there, you should be able to get one ) And i would be really surprised if the ram upgrade isn't possible. I'm not sure if there is a free slot but you should be able to replace the existing ram with more powerful one.
On second thought, the gpu upgrade might not be possible (or at least not easy). Maybe the laptops that are delivered with a gpu already inside have it welded onto the mainboard. And if welding is a necessary part of the upgrade, i would not recommend trying it :D.
Ok, thanks for the respone, i think that too (abouth the gpu). One last question, do you know if this model supports 16 gb ram?? So i can upgrade it??
+Faramind I think yes, but i cant't tell for sure, sorry.
Hey mate can you help me? I want to add some ram to my VN7-571G cause i bought the 4gb ram version, but i don't know where the ram socket is, can you do a video showing that or a picture please ?
+Luchin Bombin I'm not sure but i think that they are on the back of the mainboard. Go to 7:30 in this Video here. I think the RAM sticks are the ones on the Right, next to the USB plugs.
+Martianbuddah nice, ill check into that as soon as i can. One more thing, can you tell me how to unplug the biggest keyboard cable, the little ones are easy to do, but i cant unplug the big one
+Luchin Bombin I used a small flat screwdriver to unplug the cables. That made it quite easy, i dont remember a big difference in difficulty between the three cables.
+Martianbuddah i had to push the white clip in the cable, instead of just lifting it. Thanks for all your help and time i hope you keep making this kind of videos :)
@Martianbuddah
hey nice vid :)
but i have a problem. i did it exactly like you did in the video. But now when i press the on button there is "nothing" like there is no electricity. I checked all connections, could you eventually help me ? i would pay you.. im rly confused and sad right now maybe i oversee something?
John Johnson, HI there was someone with a similar problem further down in the comments. First you should check if the battery cable is plugged in (next to the DVD drive). Then try screwing all the screws back in. And did you try if it works with the power cord plugged in?
Hi Martian, WOW! its exactly like you said. if the bottom "batterie screw" isnt drilled in.. it wont start?! i always tried to start it with an open keyboard so i dont have to open it all over again if something failed.
Thanks in advance mate! :-)
John Johnsen you're welcome ^^
THANK YOU! Thought my battery had died all of a sudden
has this laptop a ssd slot?
Excelente trabajo amigo!
Actualizare el mío y te cuento cómo me fue. Mi laptop no tiene lector y no lo puedo encontrar acá en Chile. Tienes información de dónde encontrarlo.
Saludos y gracias por tu vídeo.
Saludos desde Chile!
Excuse me, i don't speak spanish so i need to trust Google translate on what you say :D You are looking for a "reader" (lector) for you laptop? what is this? A DVD Drive?
Hi I do not quite understand what kind of module do you have installed? I have the same model laptop and this slot is also empty. I installed a new HDD instead of the SSD, and DVD drive instead of HDD put))). What kind of module do you put the prompt?
Hmm i don't really understand you. I have a DVD drive in my laptop ( the thing on the left), a 500gb hdd connected via SATA and as shown in the video a 250gb SSD connected to the m.2 slot.
What happened when you cloned the HDD to the SSD? What made it a pain in the ass?
+Kevin Hu I think the Problem was that i didnt remove the HDD after cloning. The Drive Letters (C: D:) were wrong and some stuff in Windows got confused. I dont know which program i used for the cloning anymore but it was crappy and i ended up reinstalling the operating system.
Nice vid ! Can u perhaps make a video about how to clean/take out the fan of the Acer Aspire VN7-571g ? i would really appreciate it ! Thanks :)
+Cane Judge phew maybe ... so far i didn't feel the need to clean my fans :D but i'll remember your request if that need emerges within the next few weeks ;)
+Martianbuddah thanks a lot sir :^)
Doing this will void the warranty?
+Troller Roller You may want to ask the shop where you buy/bought the laptop to be sure but no, it should not void the warranty. The shop where i bought mine ensured me that i can do such upgrades without losing the warranty.
can you put 2 hdd in this computer?
you can replace your dvd drive with an additional 2.5" hdd caddy. That would enable you to have 2 hdd drives, but i think having 1 hdd + 1 ssd via the m.2 slot (like shown in this video) is the better choice ^^
Quick question is this a SATA SSD or NVME?
it's SATA
@@Martianbuddah i was wondering if the m.2 sata "NGFF" will work for the same exact acer model ?
I can't tell you for sure, sorry.
I did not get how you succeeded removing the bottom cover.
balzerbarn you don't. you just remove the keyboard
Ok, thanks. I noticed there were many clips along the borders.
I wish to upgrade the DDR3.
This video is old, but what ssd is it?
what do you mean? the ssd is shown at second 0:30
@@Martianbuddah oh thanks, i didn't see the beginning of the video. Great video and regards.
Is there M.2 SATA or PCI-E?
+Kostya Perylov yup, that's a good question. Sadly I didn't find exact informations about the m.2 slot. I would guess it just has a SATA connection but if you are really interested in a PCIE M.2 i would ask the Acer Support.
+Martianbuddah, thank you for your reply. I've' found answer. It's only SATA laptopmedia.com/laptop-m-2-ngff-ssd-compatibility-list/ :(
Nice Video, you have a big german accent, are you German?
+Vordenn Mc yep, i am ^^

I have VN7-591G-77A9 it's with 60GB SSD.
When i bought it i asked to change the SSD to 128 or higher, the guy in the store said it's not possible because it's one one piece with motherboard.
After watching your video i will definitely upgrade my laptop
You added this SSD as external drive right?
I found this photo, and this is inside look of my laptop. i think on the left side is the ssd and it looks easy to remove/replace.

can i replace my 60GB SSD to 250GB ? or i need to check motherboard is supporting that much? do you know about this??
Great job thanks for sharing !
+Anun Azganun yes, you can replace it.
Thanks!
Where is the ram? I got the 8 gb ram model and would like to upgrade my Ram as well all at the same time. Next time mention all components incase someone else needs to see it on video. I know u mentioned ur a noob at video uploads to RUclips. Overall great video with minor details missing, I'm sure you will do a better job next time, not bad for a first video.
+DICIEMBRE1977 go to 7:51 in this video. right next to the usb-plugs. that should be the ram. Sadly you also have to lift the mainboard for that upgrade ^^
@@Martianbuddah heyo, I was also gonna upgrade my ram. Originally the notebook comes with 8gb. Is there a second slot? Or would I have to get a 16 gb chunk?! Good video dude!
@@zownes612 hey i am not sure but when i remember correctly, mine had two slots and both were taken by 4gb ram sticks.
@@Martianbuddah thanks for that really quick answer ! keep up the good work
haha wir haben einfach das selbe hintergrund bild bei windows :D
arghh too hard.. gave me anxiety 😂😂
Are you german? :D
yes ^^
Hey, I have both a HDD and a SSD on my acer aspire v17 black edition. I wanted to ask you where exactly is the ssd located in the laptop and also does your warranty expire if you open the laptop?
No the warranty does not expire. Sorry but i don't know about the v17 black edition ...
So if I unscrewed the screws and unplugged the 3 cables, and then plugged them back in my warranty is intact or OK?
Thats what my shop told me about my laptop, yes. When it comes to warranty of your laptop, it's best to call the shop where you bought it and ask them :D a random guy on youtube is not the best source for these questions
