 Hello, this is Nick from Laptop Media and today we will show you how to open the MSI Cyborg 15, A13V. To open this device, you need to undo 9 Phillips-head screws. After that, pry the sides and use a lever tool to lift the panel in the zones behind the hinges. Flip the laptop and pry the area behind the hinge cover with a thin plastic tool. Then, turn over the laptop, slightly open it and pry the front by inserting the plastic tool in between the panel and the chassis. You can't lift the bottom plate straight upwards because the audio jack sticks out of the motherboard. Lift the left side and carefully slide the panel to the other side. This laptop has a 53.5 watt-hour battery. To remove it, detach the connector from the motherboard and undo the three Phillips-head screws that fix the unit in place. The capacity is enough for around 6 hours and 40 minutes of web browsing or 5 hours of video playback. To achieve that, you have to apply the Balanced Preset in the MSI Center. Also, the Integrated Graphics mode has to be turned on in order to use the IGPU and the Balanced mode should be selected in the BIOS in the User Scenario section. The Balanced Preset is also activated in the Windows Power and Battery menu. The RAM section is covered by a metal plate. According to MSI, the two Sodims fit up to 64 GB of DDR5, 5200 MHz RAM in dual-channel mode. However, since the CPU can support up to 96 GB, this laptop likely wouldn't have issues running a larger amount of memory than the official manufacturer's specified limit. For storage, there is just one M.2 slot that works with Gen4 SSDs. By the way, it's visible that there is space for another SSD on the right of the battery, but there's no slot soldered to the motherboard. Perhaps this extra is reserved for higher-tier laptops that use similar motherboards. We found a thick thermal pad below the NVMe. The cooling system has a large single fan, two heat sinks, one heat pipe, shared between the CPU and the GPU, and one more for each chip. In addition, you get two heat sinks.
