Hi UberGeeks! So glad you did a video for this type of computer again ☺️ I do have a question I must ask, if I removed the Heat-Sink tape on top of the fans, would it stop the computer from turning on anymore?
I just checked it made sure the cables were connected and it seems like it still won’t turn on for some odd reason, before this issue started, it was working properly, do you have any clues as to why it won’t turn on? If not, it’s totally ok, im still greatful for ur help 😊
Also I just got this laptop and I am so sorry to ask for this but if I want to install the SSD 2.5 hard drive do I need to configure the laptop or anything like that? Thank you in advance!
Super helpful! I came across your video as I was looking into how to upgrade the RAM on my Acer Nitro and you explained things so clearly, and especially love the tip of the 45 degree angle for installation. Many thanks!
i have two sticks of ram coming tomorrow, before installing do i have to drain the battery or is it fine just with latex gloves? Also after installing do i have to do anything when loading up the laptop or should i be good to go after replacing the case?
@@UbergeeksBizthanks I’m getting my laptop soon it’s this exact one I’m trying to get it to play PC VR games so, you are very helpful in my case so I’ve subbed.
It should be completely fine as long as everything works together! If your worried about possible damage you could do to your motherboard, you can always buy an antistatic wrist glove, and follow a more detailed tutorial about installing ram. I would try to install the same brand of ram too. :)
I think your wifi card soldering has been cut, the white wire that has to be soldered to the Wi-Fi card is disconnected and is misplaced above the SSD label.
Hi, I know it's been 2 years but after I installed the 8gb RAM (exact laptop and ram type) task manager nor windows does not identify the new ram and shows the old number. Any fixes?
Quick question. Is there an upside down for the ram? I saw you flip one, one way and the other sticker facing up on the new one. Never did anything like this but was just going to try. Dont want to fry something if thats possible
thank you so much. i have a question thou. my acer is 8 Gb of ram and if i install another 16 Gb, does that mean i have 24 Gb of ram of total and can acer nitro 5 handle that?
Can i use the link in the description if my acer is a an517-52-52t3 also i plan to buy the 16 ram one in your link can i? If not can you link to some other link woth 16g much would be appreciated
Man, I would love to see how this is done if I could actually see more closer and copy what you do since I’m a visual learner. This wasn’t really helpful since I can’t actually see what I’m supposed to do without breaking it.
Hey UberGeeks! So Can You Link a correct ddr4 ram in the replys of my comment, because i dont know what ram to use! please link the ram u used in this video! thanks for all ur help! -pickleman
Hi UberGeeks! So glad you did a video for this type of computer again ☺️ I do have a question I must ask, if I removed the Heat-Sink tape on top of the fans, would it stop the computer from turning on anymore?
Heatsink tape will not stop the laptop from turning on. Did you connect all the cables back in ?
I removed the tape only and nothing else
Ever since then it stopped turning on, I’ll have to check again if I accidentally removed any of the cables on accident
But ty ty so much for telling me that cuz I wasn’t sure if it was the tape or not ☺️still appreciate ur help

Thank you!! This was so easy to follow and we successfully upgraded to 32gb having never done something like this before!
You're welcome!
Literally the most useful and simple video I have seen so far! Thank you so much for this!!
Also I just got this laptop and I am so sorry to ask for this but if I want to install the SSD 2.5 hard drive do I need to configure the laptop or anything like that? Thank you in advance!
i think its advisable to detach the battery from motherboard before changing or adding the RAM then reconnecting again after done.
I didn't do that and the screen wouldn't turn on so I'm going to do that
wasn’t an issue for me
Thank you
Saying a 45 degree angle is very helpful. Saying the exact steps to take are why this video is perfect.
Great tutorial, simple and straightforward.
Glad you liked it

Hi! I have the same laptop model, can I put one 32gb ram card? Thanks!
is this worth doing? i crash when i tab out on a few games such as rust and im not sure if this would fix it
Glad you made this, it seems easy, gonna upgrade from 8 to 32 gigs in a week or so.
i will upgrade mine from 16 to 32 i need it for beamng
so helpful man i love the videos keep up the great work ❤
Can I put 2 different RAM ? One 8 and one 16 for exemple ? Or only 2 times the same ?

Good luck with adding new RAM. After installing, you do nothing. RAM work automatically.

Thank you so much for this so well explained video, it helped me a lot
What is the brand of the stock ram of this laptop?
Nice video very informative 🎉
Hey! By any chance, if I do this do I have any possibility of killing the computer?
I wanna know cuz I spent a lot of my saving for it. Thanks!

Hi, I may have damaged the little pins that make sure that the bottom stick is in position. Could you help me?
I think your wifi card soldering has been cut, the white wire that has to be soldered to the Wi-Fi card is disconnected and is misplaced above the SSD label.
Super helpful. Thank you.
I have the same laptop model as the one in this video. I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade with a 16 GB ram so there'd be 24 GB in total.
You want to have the same type of sticks on both ports or else you could get performance issues

The ram will have a little chip in it that is asemetrical to the ram itself kind of like
--------------v------
And the divot will be pretty noticeable
Isn't it better to unplug the battery first then install?
Good one! I did unplug the battery before adding the ram and it is working fine! ✅
can i put my crucial 8gb DDR4-2666 SODIMM RAM stick
Very useful. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
What company ram was pre-installed in it ?
And will there be any compatibility issues if I add ram of another company alongside the current one ?
Yes, you can use other company RAM
I saw that some remove the battery first before installing or upgrading, do i need to?
I did mind without removing battery.
I did remove it to insert the new ram. It worked fine! 🎉
thank you so much. i have a question thou. my acer is 8 Gb of ram and if i install another 16 Gb, does that mean i have 24 Gb of ram of total and can acer nitro 5 handle that?
yeah it can

Thanks from France

You can check the description but, the 16 GB ram kit costs around $35 bucks.

Yes you can
You can have up to 64 gb ram, using 2x32 gb.
Hey ubergeeks I change the ram out and when I put it ack together and turn it on. The screen won’t come on. Do you know what’s going on?
Maybe the Ram is not compatible?
Or not installed correctly.
Try remove the new ram, see if old ram powers on with display or not
Is there a reason that my screen doesn't turn on after adding the RAM?? I followed all the steps correctly but it won't turn on now
Before installing ram de attach the battery cable
Me and my buddie were trying to find out how to do this so thanks
thank you
How do i know from which side im supposed to connect the ram
You can check on the ram slot. Try match the ram before insert into it
Man, I would love to see how this is done if I could actually see more closer and copy what you do since I’m a visual learner.
This wasn’t really helpful since I can’t actually see what I’m supposed to do without breaking it.
a big thank you
I followed this guide step by step and blew something. You should really tell people how to make sure this does not happen
Did you turn it completely off?
Skill issue 😂
I put it in and it doesn’t work at all
Can I upgrade it to total of 32 GB ram?
Yes but you’re wasting money, its better 16 gb (8+8 dual channel)if you want to play games that ram its the same than 32 gb
