Need Help On 64GB Upgrade For Acer Predator 17 G9-793-78CM

BenP

Hello,

I broke down my laptop, to then realize that the remaining two

RAM slots reside on the "opposite side" of the motherboard.

YIKES.

I'm fairly handy but I'm not a technician or guru on breaking down

these intricate, fine machines. I have 4 x 16GB Crucial sticks for

it but I'm only able to use the 2 free slots that's readily available

making my laptop max out to 48GB.

Is there some type of tutorial or online video that I can use to

get to the other side of the laptop to swap out the factory 16GB
(2 x 8GB) sticks? Or, should I simply bite the bullet & send/give

it to an authorized technician to do the work for me?

If it's a tech I need, can someone refer to me an authorized one

that KNOWS what they're doing...? It would make sense that if

a company is going to offer a laptop that's upgradable to 64GB,

it should've started with 32GB, so adding 2 more sticks is easy.

All help is greatly appreciated! Looking forward.

Thanks,
Ben

this only covers part of the dissasembly, all you should have left is to remove a fer mobo screws, take close note to waht you do and where the screws go, wear rubber, latex, nitrille glove when touching the mobo.

maybe watch another video on a full dissasembly on another laptop just to get an idea if you want.

Thanks Joe,

I did see that video, thanks for sharing. I was able to get to

the same point where that video does also, however, it does

not show "which" of the motherboard screws, or if anything

else needs to be removed, to take the mobo off properly.

The mobo appears to have several silver screws that are used

to keep it down... but I'm sure there might be some other

things that might need to be done first before I attempt this.

Again, thanks, and if anyone else can help me it would be very

appreciated!

every laptop ive taken apart, Dell insperon, HP pavilion, and some others usually had sever screws holding it on, you take them off and thats it, mobo is free, just wiggle the I/O ports free or disconnect them if possible
