    Disassembly, maintenance and upgrade options

    Step 1: Accessing the Internal ComponentsEnsure the Acer Aspire Vero 15 (AV15-53P) is powered off and placed on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches or damage. Remove the 11 Phillips-head screws from the laptop's bottom panel. Gently lift the bottom plate near one of the top two corners to create a slight gap, then use a thin plastic tool to pry the panel off.Hint: Be careful during this process to avoid damaging the internal clips or the chassis itself.Step 2: Removing the BatteryDisconnect the battery by pulling out its connector from the motherboard.
