🛠️ How to open Acer Nitro V 15 AI (ANV15-42) - disassembly and upgrade options

Hey everyone, today we're opening the Acer Nitro V15 AI, ANV15-42. For the full review, with our lab tests, benchmarks and display results, visit LaptopMedia.com through the link below. Let's begin. To reach the internals we remove 11 screws and lift off the bottom panel. We're using a JIS number 1 screwdriver. All of the screws are the same length. With a thin plastic tool, we start releasing the clips around the cover. Keep the tool shallow so it doesn't slide inward and touch the hardware. The bottom panel is now off. Here is the battery. Here is the installed SSD. Here is the second SSD slot. We get two SODIMM slots. Here is the processor area. Next is the discrete graphics chip. And over here is the dual fan cooling with shared heat pipes and a heatsink. Before we continue, we'll disconnect the battery and lift it out. It isn't held down by screws, so we don't have to flip the laptop while opening the bottom cover. This is the 57Wh battery used in the Full HD Plus SSD versions. On our unit, the label shows 57.48Wh typical and 55.04Wh rated. Now we'll remove the installed memory stick. There are two SODIMM slots here, with official support for up to 32GB of DDR5 at up to 5600 megatransfers per second. The black wrap helps block interference. Now we remove the installed SSD. This machine has one drive fitted and room for another one. The platform supports two M.2 PCI Express 4 NVMe slots, with 512GB, 1TB and 2TB options depending on the version. Final look at the board. The wireless card here is a MediaTek RZ616 with Wi-Fi 6E, 2x2 MU-MIMO and support for the 2.4, 5 and 6GHz bands. That was our quick look inside the Acer Nitro V15 AI.
