 Hello, this is Nick from Laptop Media, and today we will show you how to open the Acer Aspire 5 A514 55. If you want to remove the bottom plate, you have to unscrew 10 Philips head screws. After that you can pry the panel with a plastic tool. One of the upper two corners looks like the best starting point.

The battery is a 54.6 watt hour variant. Before taking it out, you have to remove the connector from the motherboard. The next procedure is to undo the two Philips head screws that are fixing the unit to the base. The battery is held in place with a few screws because there is a dedicated socket for it on the inside of the bottom plate. The capacity is enough for 8 hours and 20 minutes of web browsing or 6 hours and 40 minutes of video playback. The result is decent. For memory expansion, you get 4 or 8 GB of soldered DDR4 RAM. Luckily there is a Sodium that can handle up to 16 GB of DDR4. 3200 MHz memory. So, the maximum possible amount of RAM is 24 GB. For storage, there is one M.2 slot compatible with Gen4 NVMEs and a SATA slot for regular SSDs and HDDs. The cooling solution is nothing but basic. It has one fan, one heat pipe, a single heat sink and a heat spreader.
