    I think it won't void the warranty unless you don't damage something during the process, but it is better to contact Acer support and ask them whether changing/adding RAM will void the warranty. The warranty on the laptop won't cover the new ram stick.

    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.
