Acer Nitro 5 RAM Upgrade 16gb

[@arcticfox0927]

Hi UberGeeks! So glad you did a video for this type of computer again ☺️ I do have a question I must ask, if I removed the Heat-Sink tape on top of the fans, would it stop the computer from turning on anymore?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Heatsink tape will not stop the laptop from turning on. Did you connect all the cables back in ?

[@arcticfox0927]

I removed the tape only and nothing else

[@arcticfox0927]

Ever since then it stopped turning on, I’ll have to check again if I accidentally removed any of the cables on accident

[@arcticfox0927]

But ty ty so much for telling me that cuz I wasn’t sure if it was the tape or not ☺️still appreciate ur help

[@arcticfox0927]

I just checked it made sure the cables were connected and it seems like it still won’t turn on for some odd reason, before this issue started, it was working properly, do you have any clues as to why it won’t turn on? If not, it’s totally ok, im still greatful for ur help 😊

[@CharlAesthetic]

Thank you!! This was so easy to follow and we successfully upgraded to 32gb having never done something like this before!

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You're welcome!

[@ryder4290]

i think its advisable to detach the battery from motherboard before changing or adding the RAM then reconnecting again after done.

[@basicallyelite]

I didn't do that and the screen wouldn't turn on so I'm going to do that

[@qsnoozy6582]

wasn’t an issue for me

[@Slatinum_bookies]

Thank you

[@catdoesrealestate]

Was an issue for me. So glad I saw this comment. Thanks so much 🙏🏾

[@n8thegreat309]

Saying a 45 degree angle is very helpful. Saying the exact steps to take are why this video is perfect.

[@kaichunchang2254]

Literally the most useful and simple video I have seen so far! Thank you so much for this!!

[@kaichunchang2254]

Also I just got this laptop and I am so sorry to ask for this but if I want to install the SSD 2.5 hard drive do I need to configure the laptop or anything like that? Thank you in advance!

[@LaughFactory05]

THE WAY YOU EXPLAINING EVERY DETAILS SO SMOOTHLY AND PERFECTLY TO UNDERSTAND ALL YOUR METHOD THANK YOU SO SO MUCH 😇

[@zeldaxoxo]

Super helpful! I came across your video as I was looking into how to upgrade the RAM on my Acer Nitro and you explained things so clearly, and especially love the tip of the 45 degree angle for installation. Many thanks!

[@perrito375]

Great tutorial, simple and straightforward.

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Glad you liked it

[@AngelicaFanGirl]

Glad you made this, it seems easy, gonna upgrade from 8 to 32 gigs in a week or so.

[@sierrag5674]

Hi! I have the same laptop model, can I put one 32gb ram card? Thanks!

[@senseyumi6368]

so helpful man i love the videos keep up the great work ❤

[@M90945]

is this worth doing? i crash when i tab out on a few games such as rust and im not sure if this would fix it

[@anselum540]

I think your wifi card soldering has been cut, the white wire that has to be soldered to the Wi-Fi card is disconnected and is misplaced above the SSD label.

[@robhaigh750]

i have two sticks of ram coming tomorrow, before installing do i have to drain the battery or is it fine just with latex gloves? Also after installing do i have to do anything when loading up the laptop or should i be good to go after replacing the case?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Good luck with adding new RAM. After installing, you do nothing. RAM work automatically.

[@dulithaperera3211]

I have the same laptop model as the one in this video. I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade with a 16 GB ram so there'd be 24 GB in total.

[@thegamingnarwhale7636]

You want to have the same type of sticks on both ports or else you could get performance issues

[@FootagebyDJI]

Nice video very informative 🎉

[@gaetanocharilaosriela2268]

Hi, I may have damaged the little pins that make sure that the bottom stick is in position. Could you help me?

[@sergebardot]

Super helpful. Thank you.

[@Feroov]

Isn't it better to unplug the battery first then install?

[@louiferdi]

Good one! I did unplug the battery before adding the ram and it is working fine! ✅

[@andrewcullinane8112]

Quick question. Is there an upside down for the ram? I saw you flip one, one way and the other sticker facing up on the new one. Never did anything like this but was just going to try. Dont want to fry something if thats possible

[@Extentrixalot]

The ram will have a little chip in it that is asemetrical to the ram itself kind of like --------------v------ And the divot will be pretty noticeable

[@Matcha_et_Saucisse]

Can I put 2 different RAM ? One 8 and one 16 for exemple ? Or only 2 times the same ?

[@boykalkula2300]

What is the brand of the stock ram of this laptop?

[@A_child_in_virtual_reality]

Hey! By any chance, if I do this do I have any possibility of killing the computer? I wanna know cuz I spent a lot of my saving for it. Thanks!

[@MachSpeed2.3]

It should be completely fine as long as everything works together! If your worried about possible damage you could do to your motherboard, you can always buy an antistatic wrist glove, and follow a more detailed tutorial about installing ram. I would try to install the same brand of ram too. :)

[@migueldorneles4]

Very useful. Thank you

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Glad it was helpful!

[@oneinthethinkoneinthestink]

Hi, I know it's been 2 years but after I installed the 8gb RAM (exact laptop and ram type) task manager nor windows does not identify the new ram and shows the old number. Any fixes?

[@clm6014]

Thanks from France

[@ad0n1s-273]

I saw that some remove the battery first before installing or upgrading, do i need to?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

I did mind without removing battery.

[@louiferdi]

I did remove it to insert the new ram. It worked fine! 🎉

[@Zaid4rif]

What company ram was pre-installed in it ? And will there be any compatibility issues if I add ram of another company alongside the current one ?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Yes, you can use other company RAM

[@uberuberuber-o4j]

*i cab put 8GB DDR4 2400MHz CL17 in it?*
