@@mikesunboxing In the interest of making your vids better for us idiots: 1- I forgot to remove the center screw so damaged the edge of the case trying to separate it. That screw is easy to overlook for an idiot. 2- I first thought the bracket that holds the memory would pop up to a 45 degree angle so I could insert the memory. I pulled on that bracket and bent the clips out that hold the memory. I thought they might release the bracket to 45 degrees. I them bent them out some more to insert the memory stick. Whoops, the stick did not stay down after that with the clips bent apart, so I took some needle nose pliers and bent them back in. 3) For the fan, and in general, when taking out the connectors to the battery, fan, and other stuff, I didn't know which way to put them back in, metal conductors when plugged in should be up or down? Some close ups of those actions would help alot. Thanks again.

This is seriously worth your time and money. I went based off of Mike's video and had no trouble upgrading my unit. I purchased a ram kit which came with 2 8gb ram sticks to replace the 1 8gb which was installed. I was having latency trouble using my Music Production software and this solved the issue instantly. Your PC will automatically recognize the new ram sticks and you will be on your way in no time. Took me less than 10 mins to do. Thanks again

I reccomend using a guitar pick or some kind of flat, thin, plastic material to pop open the laptop, be careful of speakers at the bottom of the back of the laptop as you could damage them if you wrench around in there. Generally this laptop is 'idiotproofed' of which means that everything in the laptop is upgradable in just seconds. Be sure to disconnect the battery and discharge the laptop by pressing the power button a couple of times with the laptop disconnected from it's battery to prevent any kind of damage, a lot of techs have said this laptop survived upgrades w/o this process but if you want to garuntee low risk, try that.

Looks like Acer set this thing up from the factory with a 2.5" SSD "plastic caddy" and a ribbon cable is lying unconnected underneath. Next, I'll need to find your video on adding the 2.5" SSD.

FAO any other viewers, I took Mike's info and searched more and it seems these laptops could be upgradable to a max of 20GB (starting with 4GB on-board & 4GB removable, upgradable to 16GB) or 32GB (starting with 2x 4GB removable, upgradable to 16GB each), depending on your laptop model. In any case 16GB seems to be the max per any upgradable slot wherever I have searched. Obviously, look inside the laptop before purchasing, as Mike mentions, to see how many sticks are removable

Hi. I followed your video and was able to successfully install the RAM stick (8gb) I am a total dummy when it comes to technology so you did an amazing job in showing this process. The only thing I had a bit of a problem was that since my laptop came with only one 4gb stick the other slot was opened and I didnt know if I could just insert the new one of if I had to pull the sides as you did with the other one to open it (again a dummy). I figured it out by taking the other one out and looking how it worked with that one. So again, thank you great video!! However after I turned my computer on, it is slower than before the upgrade. It takes longer to turn on, it takes longer to open websites on the internet and any other program. I wonder if you could shed some light as to what can I do. I check on my settings and the computer does show the upgrade of RAM memory it is now 12gb. I also restarted the computer but no success. I will appreciate your help Thank you in advanced for your support.

I will be looking to upgrade the ram and add an ssd to this soon but have a few questions as I'm not a tech guy lol with the ram, if it can be upgraded to 32GB ram, is that 2x 16GB ram cards or can it take 2x 32GB cards (64GB total)?... also would this accept a 1tb ssd? and lastly if you could recommend quality brands/makes of both ram cards and ssd as I don't want to buy rubbish or the wrong thing it would be much appreciated, thanks.

So I believe I have this exact model (a515-43) which came with 2 sticks of 4gb 1RX16 PC4-2666V just like yours and have decided to upgrade to 16gb (2 x 8gb sticks 2666V). Followed the video and everything went smoothly but I loaded it up when I was done putting the 2x8gb stick in and it still says I’m only running 8gb of installed RAM at a speed of 2400Mhz and not 16gb. I’ve have tried most solutions I could find on the internet but none have worked. Have I done something wrong or bought the wrong sticks or something? I bought the 2x8gb 2666V sticks as my 2x4gb ones that was in the laptop when I bought it was also 2666V.

Mine is an Acere aspire 5 "A515-52-51TT" (i5-8265U 1.6 GHz with turbo boost up to 3.9 GHz), and the problem is that this particular model comes with an Optane Memory (in fact the sticker on the machine says 20Gb Memory: 16Gb Optane + 4Gb ram) . Now, I'll absolutely upgrade that 4gb ram (don't know why some people are installing 2600Mhz ram, when in the intel website is specifically said that this i5-8265U only manages 2400Ghz) and that ridiculous HDD 5400rpm for an M.2 or just an ssd, but I don't know if any change to the ram or the hard drive will affect the Optane Memory.
