HomeThis video explains ho to take apart an Acer Aspire 5580 series laptop. A very nicely done tutorial. I found it on YouTube and couldn’t miss the opportunity to share this guide with you.
The video walks through the disassembly process of the entire laptop.
According to the comments posted after the video:
Acer aspire 5580/5570/3680 have the same configuration and same structure.
If this guide works for your Acer laptop, please mention the model number in the comments below.
Static electricity can kill your laptop. I recommend wearing an anti-static wrist strap while working with internal parts of your laptop.

Nice video! I have Acer Aspire 5570z. You say the directions for disassembly are identical. That is great. I wonder how far I would want to go with the disassembly if I just wanted to thoroughly vacuum the inside of the main unit? Thanks!

Matt,
Dust collects mainly in the cooling module. If you remove the top cover assembly (time in the guide 5:00) you’ll get an access to the cooling fan.
Remove the top cover and spay air into the fan until the cooling module is clean and all dust is gone. Don’t forget to block the fan so it doesn’t spin when you spray air.

This video is excellent and accurate. I completely stripped my asian market model 5580. It was entirely correct including components not on my model. I’d never have otherwise managed it. I don’t think i’ll buy another acer though if such drastic action is needed to clean inside the fan. Thank you!
