Acer Aspire V5-551 disassembly questions/help!

Alexkomet · January 2015

Hello! Perhaps a simple question but an important one to me none the less. Recently, my laptop hardlocked and proceeded to fail to boot! Not even BIO would load. So, I have opted to go check on the harddrive and processer! Or, well. Prepare to go look at them. There is scant information on how to actually extract the harddrive and CPU once opened, however!

Most sites link to this video for how to disassemble it and it has been good! But it, too, fails to exactly specify the steps needed to remove the harddrive and CPU on this machine. The CPU is AMD A-Series A8-4555M and the GPU is A8-4555M: ULV-Trinity (19 W), 2 modules 1.6 - 2.4 GHz, HD 7600G GPU.

Anyhow! Would anyone have any handy how-to guilds for a deep dissection of this machine or an intimite knowledge of it so I might better learn how to remove and replace the pieces I need to? Mostly just the processer and the harddrive as the video does not cover these.

Thanks in advance!
