I did the re paste of; my Acer A717-72G-700J (NewEgg exclusive laptop)... It went well. I do use ThrottleStop. Limit all cores to max 3.8Ghz. Turn on Speed Shift and SpeedStep. Lower the CPU/Cache voltage to adaptive -99.6mV. Lowered Turbo Boost Long Power Max to 15. Kept the Short Power Max default at 45. Computer runs excellent (still), playing CSGO (CPU and HT intensive game). Followed the online tutorial to, Auto start ThrottleStop using Task Scheduler.

Thank you mate! I just fixed my laptop with a simple battery issue but it was your guide that gave me the step by step guide to getting to it! So good!

[@onodra]

How did you fix the battery issue? I have an A717-72G-700J and I'm with the same problem, battery issues.

[@joshuasanerive8123]

​@@onodra The issue for me was the positioning of battery on the laptop. If I held the laptop anywhere near this area then the battery will disconnect and I would have issues. So once I fixed the battery connection it would pop out. So now I am always sure to hold it with two hands on either side as far from the battery as possible.

[@TrustyDigitalMedia]

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks for doing this

I have this laptop with 1060 6GB. Put a NVME samsung evo in it. It is a really great machine. I'm never disappointed with Acer. Quality corresponds to price, but hardware is just really good.

[@zshade7651]

Hey there Frank,Hows the thermals handling during gaming ? Does it run the correct fps provided by the powerful 1060 6gb or does it not release it's full potential during gaming and heating ?

[@ApacheNL1]

@@zshade7651 During gaming it usually runs around 74 celsius. Framerate is good, I run everything on ultra. I don't know what framerates should be, or what the 'full potential' is, but I haven't run into any problems.

74 is very good, taking the fact that the cpu and gpu are on one heatpipe. Just clean it every year or so and it will be all fine.

The cooling is the same for 1050ti and for 1060, probably thats why.

[@Walking_on_Chips]

Thank you again for this video Yanko! I have watched it 2 times now. The 1st time when I installed a nvme, and now because the battery is failing because it sits too much (I have a big PC).

[@LaptopDisassembly]

A tip from me... If you leave the laptop and not use it for a long time, charge the battery about 80-90% and leave it on a side. Also you can pres the battery reset hole. This way you will disconnect it. Every 2-3 months plug back the charger and charge it to the same 80%. When you are not using it, the battery have a self discharge, so you have to charge it every few moths. Thanks for the comment.

[@smoochiepook8824]

When I’m taking my laptop apart, the back of the laptop (that you’re supposed to remove) is attached to the motherboard by some sort of wire. How do I safely detach it?

[@LaptopDisassembly]

The only thing you have to disconnect before lifting the back cover is the cable for the hard drive. Just slide the connector little from one side, than the other and it will get loose.

[@RebelAstronaut55]

I had the same issue with the build quality. Three plastic slots from the screws teared apart.

Nice video brother ! Keep up with good work. Thank you

[@MyParaGuide]

Thx for the video. But how come that the ssd slot was empty after you have removed the cover for the first time?

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Some have the ssd preinstalled, some not, depend on the configuration.

[@captainmazz]

Well ... after installation ... How do I start working on it? Do you need a definition? Or starts automatically?What should I do?

[@LaptopDisassembly]

After installing the ssd you have to install the operating system on it or to clone the old instalation to the new disk.

[@steryman]

Thanks for the video, I'm about to buy a M.2 SSD and install it by myself(I've also emailed the local authorized service and they said I can do it by myself if I don't damage anything) and it was useful watching your video. I still have a few questions: 1. You said something about the service hole for the battery at 2:46 to disconnect it. What is it exactly? A hard reset? Is it enough to just start up the laptop as usual after I'm done with the SSD? 2. I'm still worried a bit about the warranty, did you encouter any other Asipre 7 models that have any kind of warranty stickers on the cover(so that they void the warranty if you remove the cover by yourself)? Or did you even encounter any laptop manufacturer(not only Acer) in the past 2 years that put any kind of warranty stickers on the cover(so that the warranty is voided if removed)?

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Hello 1. The service hole is used to "disconnect" the battery. You can do it after removing the back cover and unplug the battery connector. It is not a good idea to plug or unplug the ssd or other part while the battery is connected. Everything is under voltage at that case, so just unplug it to be 100% safe. 2. There is no warranty stickers on the laptop, except on the cpu screws, but you won't go that far. There is no warranty stickers ot the laptops for the past 3 or more years. After you install the ssd just plug back the battery and start the laptop as normal and install the os.

[@andygarrido58]

A few questions, sorry if it's a long post I have an A717-71G So if there's an HDD and an SSD present and I want to install a new SSD, do I replace the current SSD or the HDD? What's the format? I'm looking at a Crucial MX500 SATA III 2.5 SSD. Would that work? And do you know of any ways to improve the cooling? It tends to run hot

[@LaptopDisassembly]

This laptop have one place for a regular drive (2,5") and one place for M. 2 slot for an ssd. If you have a regular disk and ssd on the m. 2 slot and you want to add the Crucial 2,5" this mean that you have to replace the regular one. You cannot install two regular disks. About the cooling, you cannot replace the cooling system with better one, it wouldn't fit. The thing you can do is use a good quality thermal paste and clean the laptop regularly. (every year lets say). Also dont use the laptop on a soft surface like blankets and so. Also try using a cooling pad.

[@darkgel]

Hello, In case you still read comments. I had an issue near the fans, there are 2 cables that seems to come from the energy cable (external). 1 was connected and the other was in the air. Because of your video I decided to plug it next to the other. Its working for now.

The Laptop can work with nvme also. It is faster than regular ssd but is little more expensive. You need 2280 M. 2 ssd. Regular or nvme it is up to you.

[@JustMe-oj1hd]

How do you reconnect the battery? Is it automatic? A717-72g-700j from newegg. Just finished upgrading thanks to this video. Samsung 970 EVO plus M.2 1TB SSD. Mine had no SATA so I installed a Samsung 860 EVO 2.5" 500GB. Plug was not seated where SATA cable connects to motherboard inside PC so it would not detect the drive at first. I seated it and it worked. That was the only problem. I used the SATA to clone my existing HD first and then disassembled and installed the M.2 SSD. Then I cloned my SATA onto the M.2 ssd. 1TB M.2 SSD works great! I was a little worried about exceeding the storage "limit" from ASUS. All the SSD software, drivers and cloning was easy with Samsung Magician and Samsung data migration software off their website.

To clone from one to another yoy need two m. 2 slots. The laptop have only one. The only way is to use acronis true image and make a full backup and save it to external drive. After that put the new ssd and restore from the backup.

There actually is a way to do it with one slot - You need to get an external M.2 SSD casing for it to work though, and Acronis. Although for my laptop model (A717-72G), I also had to download and install the Windows ADK (first) and the Windows PE (second), followed by restarting your computer so it updates and Acronia will recognize the original SSD boot drive.

More precisely, when the ssd is used for around 1 minute, it shuts himself down and it’s undetected for the next hour… Thank you 🙂 (Btw booting in Windows with a SATA drive works but only the M.2 seams te react strangely)

You should have two service covers on the back side. One for theregular drive and one for the memory. Under the memory one, there should be two slots. On this model they come with one 8gb preinstalled. So you can just add an extra one 8gb. No need to be the same brand, just same speed is enough.

If you have M. 2 2280 ssd it is automatically become first boot device. You can try and remove the normal disk and install the os. After that just put back the old one.

Use aoemi Bacuper to clone just the operating system. After that remove the gerular disk and try again. Not all the programs can clone uefi disks. The best way is to make a fresh install but try the program that I recommend.

One of the fans stopped working. Is there any way to fix that?

[@LaptopDisassembly]

First check is something blocking the fan fron moving.. Dust or so. After that check do you have voltage on the connector. If you have than probably the fan need to be replaced

[@ThaRealERAQ]

how do you replace the fan?

[@LaptopDisassembly]

The fans on that model are "welded" with the metal plate. To replace is you have to cut the plastic that is above the metal. This way the fan will be separated from the metal plate. After puting the new fan, use a solder iron to melt the plastic on the same place that was the old bond. You can use a peace from the old plastic that you cut, to fill the hole. Also you can use a little type to hold it to the metal plate.

I've noticed some manufacturers have said the limit of the nVME drive is 500 or 512GB, but I was able to install a 1TB intel 660p drive, and my 2TB samsung 970 evo also ran in it just fine. I am not sure why manufacturers are saying this. I have another model I can't remember if it was a Dell or HP that also claimed the same thing, but I was able to install larger drives in them as well. I am not sure if someone manufacturers are trying to place white lists for specific drives or limit the size recognized by nMVE slots, but it doesn't seem to be working so far. Curious to know if anyone has found a model that claimed this and they could not get a larger drive working.

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Most of the manufacturers are giving the specifications for the basic configuration and stock bios. After that they released newer bioses that improve compatability and stability. I doubt they test all the combinations, they just say some basic configuration limits.

[@markpeterson9826]

@@LaptopDisassembly Seems more like a marketing ploy to get to you to purchase the more expensive units. But in actuality these limits don't make sense because you are not limited in size by the SATA interface or by a PCI-E slot. I've yet to run into a compatibility problem with any nVME drive that was actually in a nVME slot and not just a SATA m.2 slot. Have you? Very curious.

Според Acer може да се постави nvme ssd. Така че би трябвало да няма проблем. За да е по-сигурно е добре да обновите биоса до последния възможен, за да се избегне несъвместимост.
