How do you unlock the battery? Usually (on all my other acer laptops) there are two slide buttons to unlock it, but on my laptop there is non, it’s the same as your photo. Do you just use pen to push into the small hole? I do not want to damage the laptop/battery, I still get a few hours power time from it but not the 7 hours i’m supposed to, so I want to replace the battery, I just can’t get the bugger off!

I have an Aspire V5-571P and would like to use 2 SSD drives. Is there internal space to install and a place on the Sata buss to connect a second SSD on the mother board? Secondly, is it possible to exceed the factory specs of 8 GB Max ram to install 16 or 32 GB and have it all usable? Once a 500 GB SSD or 1 TB SSD is installed it is real easy to use a dedicated Primary Partition as Vmem and really speed up the system

Dear IML Tech,
Hi, This is a great tutorial.
I managed to break the portion of the plastic bottom on my Acer V5 (no finger-print). The jack still works, but it’s loose.
Can I re-stabilize the jack by replacing the plastic bottom cover?
Is this something you would advise a ‘greenhorn’ to take to a computer repair shop, or is it something so easy that I could probably do it myself by following tutorials like this one?
(or a similar one with you performing the exact operation. lol)
Any advice is greatly appreciated 😀

Great article I was looking on instructions on how easy it was to replace the hard drive. Thanks a lot. Is the hard drive 7.5mm or 9.5mm?

could you remove the CPU that has been soldered? safely for packaging and for the motherboard to accept a new CPU?

Eagerly awaiting your response.
May thanks – Jordan
