I like the idea of using a USB-C charger as there won't be any play. In Swift 5 SF514-52T there is only one USB-C port used for data transfer, but have a doubt if it will work as a charging port also ? As suggested @Puraw & @Billsey, I checked the USB 100W chager on Amazon, and it shows up as a generic charger for other…

I have Swift 5 SF14-52T model and I got this flickering problem suddenly after using the system for 4+ years. When on battery backup, it was less but was getting worse as soon as I plugged it in. At first I suspected the connecting cable from the MB to the display. But first did the "Task Manager test" which didn't work…

Thanks for the image. I could check the same on Amazon. I'll buy and check out if it works ok or not. Thanks Moorthy

I removed the bezel and checked. The connector is very tightly connected (factory set).In fact a sticker kind of thing is stuck over the connector, so that there is no scope for it to loosen.

Thanks. Let me check and get back on that.

No I haven't. I didn't open anything. Just guessed the issue because of the nature of the problem. What exactly in the connector should I check after removing the bezel ? What am I looking for ? Thanks Moorthy

Thanks for your reply. Can you please which exactly ("capacitive ones with the fat rubber tip"; I mean product links from any US store or website, if any) can I use. Thanks Moorthy

It works fine with an external monitor, but I use the laptop screen at an angle and the it works okay. The serial no is - SNID : XXXXXXXXXXXX (LXPSE02201XXXXXXXXXXXX). [Thread edited to personal content]

The below link shows that swift-5-sf514-52 has 2 SSD slots, whereas I got a reply from Acer support that it has only 1 slot. Which one is the correct info ? https://www.myfixguide.com/acer-swift-5-sf514-52-disassembly-m-2-ssd-upgrade-options/

Thanks. I badly needed more space and this helps me to add another TB of space.

Thanks. A second SSD slot was what I needed.

Thanks. That removes my confusion and now I can happily add another SSD to my system.
