How to open Acer Aspire 3 (A317-54) – Office Work profile

To access this laptop’s internals, you need to undo 14 Phillips-head screws. Then, just pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool and remove

2. Remove the battery

Here, we find a 42Wh battery pack. It lasts for 9 hours of Web browsing, or 6 hours of video playback. To take it out, unplug the connector from the motherboard, and undo the two Phillips-head screws, keeping the battery in place.

3. Upgrade memory and storage

In terms of memory, you get two SODIMM slots for dual-channel RAM. Storage-wise, there are two M.2 PCIe x4 slots, one of which supports Gen 4 SSDs.

4. Cooling system

Last but not least, there is the cooling. It comprises two heat pipes, a heat sink, and a fan. Unfortunately, the VRMs are not being cooled.
