 Hello, this is Nick from Laptop Media and today we will show you how to open the Acer Aspire 5A515-48M. In order to remove the bottom plate, you have to unscrew 10 Philips head screws. After that, you can start popping up the panel with a plastic tool. Please remember, it would be of great help to us if you just hit the like button and subscribe to our channel. That would motivate us to make even more and better videos for you. The battery is a 54.6Wh unit. As always, your first task is to detach the battery connector from the motherboard. The battery life is good, the capacity is enough for 11 hours and 7 minutes of web browsing in 12 hours and 30 minutes of video playback. The battery isn't held in place with screws, so it's pretty easy to remove. In terms of storage, there is a single M.2 slot compatible with Gen4 SSDs. On the other hand, the slot is downgraded to Gen3 speeds due to AMD platform limitations. The memory is soldered to the motherboard. However, the LPDDR4X-4266MHz RAM is working in a dual channel mode which will boost the overall performance. The cooling system seems normal for a machine like this one. It has one fan and two heat pipes.
