can we put gen 4 m.2 in both ssd slots in there ??

"You cannot game on this device so don't ask" False

Can we please get a new link for the toolkit?

i cant get the back off and im too scared to force it.. only the other side comes off not the actual back pannel ]

I lost the cable for mine and I want to install a 2.5 inch drive. Does anyone know where I can get one? Please PM me

I have acer nitro 5 an515-51 i installed new ssd Samsung evo plus 970 nvme m.2. and it shows on bios. But i get no bootable device.. is it not compatible?

did the seller just put out one of my 8 gm ram out my laptop

Awesome video - I just bought the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-58 - with 1TB, and 16gb ram (came at a good price as i wanted a 4060 card) - and was worried about storage expansion. Your video has calmed my fears! Especially considering I've already filled up a third of my SSD already on games xD

not a review.. not a tear down.. no much useful info 👎

Great video im about to upgrade to a 1TB SSD

I found ddr5 in mine so I should look for compatible ddr5 ram right?

This video was so helpful! Thanks a lot for showcasing the upgrades of this great laptop.

Been using one for the last 7 years. Sounds excellent, can't fault it.

Hi, can i use HDD 2.5 Instead of SSD for additional Storage?

Great vid. Thanks 👍🏼

when u said about the C shortages at 4:50, its a bit WTF now in 2024. Such a good 2nd hand mobile workstation if you can find one.

"You can not game on this device" That's non-sense.. You can game on it if you try hard enough, you won't get great frame rates or performance but it'll game.

They were selling this model in India with a slightly better 3070ti GPU and a somewhat slower processor , the 12650h , also they cut corners with storage and halved it to 1tb but i guess it works as it all came to around a 1250$ package which is still pretty decent. The display was the same 1440p with 15.6 inches.

bro run two 16 gb identical sticks .... two 8gb sticks are generally faster than any other config unless it's 32 gigs total with 16*2 config

How to take off the back part

wait, I have a question on the 16gb DDR4 Ram when your buying it from amazon there's 2 slots for it. So when your opening the laptop to put the ram for it do you just put 1 for it or do you have to put 2 for it? and I was wondering because from the video you didn't remove the other one which is the green one and considering , you only put one black for it. so do you only put 1 or 2? which I just wanna make sure.

Hi! Good Job! what ddr5 memory its compatible with this model and can i use the free HD slot for an adicional SSD disk?

3:24 what screwdriver did you use to open that

my acer Nitro 5 is the Nitro AN515-58-57QW, is it able to use the same ssd that you used?

That what i will do when i purchage it

I bought this at a sale, but there isn't a power switch by the battery compartment under the keyboard. So how do you turn it on? Any info would be much appreciated! Thank you

I bought this laptop for school 💀

I am reading this laptop can take 64GB max ram and is also compatiable with DDR5 via a BIOS update

Very well presented

When buying another ram stick to upgrade, what ram specs do we look for to match the existing ram stick installed in the acer nitro 5?

Thank you for this video. I'm gearing up to try upgrading my current laptops ram, it'll be my second time attempting a ram upgrade. The first time I tried it was with an MSI laptop and it was a complete failure because even after unscrewing it the back wouldn't come off. For this laptop it looks more straightforward.

Tysm for this video! Had a hard time trying to find someone who could actually tell me if the screws were the same size or not lol

what about the wifi module? is it able to be replaced?

This was great. thanks for the video. Is there any chance that you could upgrade/add the storage to an empty WWAN slot? Is this even possible. It would be interesting to see if it is done and certainly would help many.

brother, do you know how to make this shit ass laptop work full power? It can't even run Dota 2 or CS2 with proper FPS, I've looked many solutions, but none of them works. I saw that this is because of shitty engeneering from Acer, maybe you know the solution?

For my laptop it says 2 out of 8 slots is that actually possible?

I got a question is it even possible to upgrade the cpu and graphics on this laptop

Thanks, now i know that i HAVE a second nvme slot lol

I lost my data cable after I moved. Do you know if you can replace them relatively cheap?

amazing video thanks so much Will :)

I got this keyboard with a PC purchase..... But no idea how to turn it on... Instructions says turn on, but how the fck do you do that lol. I see no power button

Battery life on this laptop is atrocious. Much, much worse than the Gen4 of this laptop. And this laptop gets seriously hot! I would skip this particular model.

Got this gaming laptop for college and also having the availability to video game when I go on deployments and it doesnt let me down great price great quality very awesome gaming PC

Great video!! Just a quick question, Nitro has a non-removable battery, so is it safe to upgrade the ram without unplugging the battery unit from the board? Thank you.

I have a question is it normal to not use anti static wrist trap or do you touch a metal to discharge static electricity before touching a laptop? I'm planning to put another 8gb ram to my laptop.

SATA data cable is horrible, it has to be lined up just perfect or it won't work and HDD/SSD won't be recognized. It's the worst SATA cable I've ever had to work with. Took 3 attempts (using a magnifying glass) to get them all to line up just right before closing the latch. All other laptops I've worked on, as you push the ribbon into the connector it is forced to auto align - not on this laptop. So if your HDD/SSD doesn't show up in BIOS, then keep playing with the SATA cable until you get it just right. Personally worst laptop I've ever worked on.

I upgraded my nitro 5 with 2tb and more ram based on your recommendations I was just playing star wars at ultra settings. Thanks for the information.

Do you think there would be a noticeable difference by installing 32 GB of RAM instead of 16? I have an i9 processor and the 4060 as a video card

My acee nitro 5 rtx 4050 one suddenly stopped charging. Any idea or solution. I'm really worried 😢😢 One day I plugged in the charger and charging suddenly stopped working and when I now plug in the charger the charging light blinks once as soon as i plugged it and then goes off

did you have to transfer the data from the m.2 that was already in there to the new m.2
