 Hello, this is Nick from Laptop Media and today we will show you how to open the Acer Aspire 5, A514, 56M. If you want to access the internals, you have to undo 10 Philips head screws. Next, you can pry the bottom plate with a plastic tool. One of the upper two corners is the best starting point. 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 53 watt hour model. If you want to take it out, you have to pull out the connector from the main board. The battery has enough juice for 11 hours and 7 minutes of either web browsing or video playback. The result is good. You can just remove the battery because it isn't fixed to the base with screws. There is a dedicated socket for the battery on the inside of the bottom plate that keeps the unit in place. The memory here is soldered. On the bright side, the maximum amount of RAM is 32GB of LPDDR5, 6400 MHz memory in dual-channel which seems future-proof. Storage-wise, there is a single M.2 slot for Gen4 SSDs. The cooling isn't massive. It has one fan, two heat pipes, one heat sink and a heat spreader.
