Self-Repair 1-1
Self-Repair
This chapter highlights the limited self-repair capabilities of the product.
Prior performing self-repair, familiarize yourself with the Safety Guidelines and Recommended
Equipment sections first as described in the chapter "Disassembly Procedures".
Depending on model, the following key components are eligible for self-repair (if applicable);
• Battery pack
• HDD / SSD module
• DIMM module(s)
• WLAN module
• LTE module
If a particular key component is listed and thus would be eligible for self-repair, but is not described
in the "Disassembly Procedures" section, then this component is either not present on the
respective model, or it is present but embedded on the motherboard and therefore not eligible for
self-repair.
NOTE:
Do not attempt to replace other components than those listed above.
NOTE:
For replacement parts, always use only Acer certified components in order to safeguard quality,
optimum system performance, stability and reliability of the product.
NOTE:
Any damage to the product that occur during self-repair, or which has occurred as a result of a
careless or unsuccessful self-repair attempt, is not covered by the standard product warranty.
Disassembly Procedures
Please refer to the chapter "Disassembly Procedures" for step by step disassembly instructions.

Disassembly Procedures
Safety Guidelines
This chapter contains step by step procedures on how to remove and de-install components from
the computer. Use the following safety guidelines to ensure your personal safety. Each procedure
included in this chapter assumes that you are preparing your computer for recycling and disposal.
By performing any of these procedures you acknowledge that any remaining warranty
applicable to your computer will be voided. Before you start any of the procedures in this
chapter, make sure to read the following safety guidelines and the respective instructions
within the chapter.
CAUTION!
• Turn off your computer and disconnect all power sources before opening the computer
cover or panels.
• To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself by using a wrist grounding strap or by
periodically touching an unpainted metal surface at the same time as touching a
connector on the back of the computer.
• Take off any metal objects on your arms or fingers such as bracelets, rings or watches
and make sure your hands are completely dry. Even if your unit is unplugged, there may
still be some remaining electric charge.
• If a component does not come out easily, do not forcefully remove it. Instead, check that
you are removing it correctly and that no wires or other parts are in the way.
• When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its pull-tab, not on the cable
itself. Some cables have connectors with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this type
of cable, press in on the locking tabs before you disconnect the cable.
Recommended Equipment
The following tools are required to perform maintenance on the notebook:
• Wrist grounding strap and conductive mat
• Flat screwdriver
