How to open Acer Nitro 16 (AN16-41) – disassembly and upgrade options
Step 1: Accessing the Internals
- Ensure the Acer Nitro 16 (AN16-41) is powered off and placed on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches or damage.
- Remove the 11 Phillips-head screws from the bottom of the laptop.

Hint: Be gentle during this process to avoid damaging the internal clips or the laptop casing.
Step 2: Removing the Battery
- Detach the battery connector from the motherboard to disconnect the power.
- Lift the 90.61Wh battery away from the chassis. No screws are needed for this step as the battery is held in place by a dedicated socket with soft padding.

Bonjour,
J’ai un Acer Nitro 16 avec Ryzen 7 7840HS et GeForce 4070 8GB, et je cherche la carte mère exacte de ce modèle.
Est-ce que vous savez où je peux la trouver en France ou en Espagne ?
Merci beaucoup 🙏
