ACER 5542 take apart video, disassemble, howto open (nothing left) disassembly

Hi!
No music. No talking. Just work.
If you are taking your ACER 5542 laptop apart be careful and wear an anti-static wrist band or use other anti-static device. If you need to change a LCD usually you don't have to take screen out of a laptop. You can leave it on a laptop and watch the last part of the video where I am taking LCD apart. If you need to change a keyboard, you don't have to take all bottom screws out. There are usually some marks, like a keyboard picture, on a case bottom. If you need to put a laptop back to work be aware of screws. They are different and you better remember or mark them somehow to insure that you will put them back in to a right place.
Some laptops I take apart first time, so don't be serious on my time and performance.
If something got broken - ooops, it's your fault.
Believe me, some parts in your laptop are already broken, you just don't see that.
So, just watch this video and fix your laptop.
Have fun and good luck!!

P.S. There is no reassemble video - that's why I have created a special channel for Backwards Playback Support for
each video that is missing reassemble. It is not the best possible solution obviously but better than nothing.

I need to replace the power jack for this laptop. When you removed the screen I noticed you pulled out a black and white wire that leads to the screen, can that be reattached afterwards??

I really would like to know the wifi black and white cable order. At the video you just removed. But which one is at the right and left plugs?

[@regazzz]

[@regazzz]

Yes. He donated "organs" to other laptops - let's say it is partially alive :)

[@Teplicakk]

Hey guys, I was cleaning my fan, and after turning on my notebook I realized that my left speaker is not working, the cable next to the power button is connected but speaker do not works, do you know how to sort out?

[@regazzz]

Teplicakk Hello, sorry for late response, maybe you will need to try a different speaker. If you can plug in your right speaker, just to test if it is works - than try it.

[@Papi.Labouche]

I've had this same laptop since Christmas 2009 and it's starting to run slow on me I'm afraid that one day it will just stop working and I can afford a new laptop :(

[@IIRedSunII]

where are connected the black and white monitor cables? thanks in advance.

[@regazzz]

These aren't monitor cables, it is a wifi antenna cables.
They should be connected to a wifi card.

[@IIRedSunII]

Pretty cool, yeah! :)

[@1BlubeTube]

regazzz I was talking about how fast you took that lap-top apart.

[@regazzz]

This is not the fastest one :)

[@rajxtverma]

please mention, what component is RAM, or GPU. I wish to upgrade my Acer Aspire 5542

[@regazzz]

rajat verma Hello, gpu is not upgradabel. I removed Ram - memory at 1.20

[@rajxtverma]

Thank you, one more doubt, -- if I upgrade my ram to 4 GB, would GPU would be a bottleneck?

[@mishabm316]

+rajat verma I think you already have 4GB RAM

[@jurislauva7352]
