Inside Acer Aspire 3 (A317-53) – disassembly and upgrade options
It is very common for budget 17-inchers to have a ton of free space inside. This is not necessarily a bad thing though, since the tech needed to run a modern laptop is shrinking in size as we speak. However, putting a larger battery is always a good choice. Well, Acer didn’t do it with this one.

1. Remove the bottom plate
To take this laptop apart, you need to undo a total of 14 Phillips-head screws. After that, pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool, starting from the back two corners.
2. Battery
Inside, we see a ton of free space. But more importantly, there is a 43Wh battery pack. It lasted us for about 10 hours of Web browsing, or 6 hours of video playback. To take the battery out, you first need to unplug the connector from the motherboard. Then, undo the two Phillips-head screws, holding it in place.
3. Memory and storage
Memory-wise, there is one SODIMM slot, which enables you to expand the RAM soldered to the motherboard. As for the storage, you get an M.2 PCIe x4 slot. In addition, there is space for a 2.5-inch SATA device on the left, but we can’t be 100% sure about that.
4. Cooling system
In terms of cooling, we see something quite common with one heat pipe, a heat sink, and a fan.
