Need Specs and manual for Acer Aspire 5 A514-53-34FR for doing upgrade
Tinkerer
I am trying to find the manual and specs for the A514-53-34FR, but seems to be akin to mission impossible. The manual that I find available online (for A514-53) does not apply for the A514-53-34FR exactly, only for the "A514-52 / A514-52G / A514-52K / A514-52KG / A514-53 / A514-53G". In this manual there is no mention regarding memory, how to upgrade it, how many slots there are, etc. And the information provided via CS support is confusing, and contradictory.
Any idea where to find this?

The Aspire A514-53 is a laptop that was released on the 2020-01-06 and these are some of its specs as its impossible to list everything, The service guide is not available online as this guide is specific to Acer techs and rated community members, that is why online you only get the A514-53s Emanual that is downloadable from the Acer support site also. here are some of the A514-53 from its service guide for your information, hope it helps you out.

Acer Service Guides are not in the public domain, post specific questions on this forum and we will reply with illustrations of the guides/manuals if available. The USB port has no Thunderbolt and does not support Power Delivery (no USB-C charging) or Video-out (no Display Port, no USB-C docking station support). You have 4GB onboard (soldered) memory and a slot for another 16GB to make the total maximum memory of 20GB, as for the HDD, you need to buy the SATA cable, bracket and some screws (see also these 2 threads):

Crucial states max. Ram 20GB: 4GB soldered and up to 16GB DDR4-2400MHz, confirmed by the sources I read. Acer recommends up to 12GB-2400MHz. I believe the 16GB-3200MHz module you mention may work too but I recommend following the speed of the soldered RAM module. To find out what speed and part number that is, remove the RAM module from the slot and run this command in Windows: wmic memorychip list full and note the part number and speed. https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr4/ct16g4sfd824a/ct19403866

"The 16GB DDR4 2400 MHz SO-DIMM Memory Module from Crucial provides a capacity of 16GB for notebooks as well as most NUCs. This RAM chip is compatible with systems that have a 260-pin slot and support non-ECC, unbuffered DDR4 memory. It features a CAS latency of 17 and a speed of 2400 MHz. With more memory, the computer can better handle demanding applications as well as run multiple programs at the same time. In addition, it operates at 1.2V and offers other energy features to reduce power consumption."
