Acer Aspire V5-572G disassembly

In this guide I will show how to disassemble an Acer Aspire V5-572G-6679.

The guide has two parts. In the first part I explain how to access important components located under the bottom cover.

In the second part I explain how to disassemble the display and remove the screen.

Before you start, make sure it is turned off.

STEP 1.

Remove all shown screws from the bottom.

STEP 2.

Start separating the bottom cover from the rest of the laptop.

You can use a guitar pick or any other piece of plastic to split the case.

STEP 3.

Remove the bottom cover.

Under the cover you can access most important internal components but before you touch anything don’t forget to disconnect the battery.

New replacement batteries for this laptop available here.

STEP 4.

Unplug the battery connector from the motherboard.

Do not pull by the wires. Unplug the connector by the edges.

STEP 5.

There are no screws securing the hard drive. It’s just fitted between case brackets.

Lift up the hard drive from the case.

Upgrading this 2.5″ hard drive to a 2.5″ solid state drive will speed up the system.

STEP 6.

Disconnect the hard drive SATA cable.

Remove the hard drive and replace it with a new one if you are doing an upgrade.

STEP 7.

The DC jack also not secured to the case. It’s fitted between plastic brackets.

Disconnect the DC jack cable from the motherboard.

Again, do not pull by the wires.

STEP 8.

Lift up and remove the DC jack harness.

STEP 9.

Acer Aspire V5 has built-in RAM (integrated into the motherboard) and one removable RAM module.

The CMOS battery located close to the memory slot.

You can install up to 8GB DDR3-12800 SODIMM RAM module into this slot.

STEP 10.

Both cooling fans can be easily accessed.

It’s not necessary to remove fans for cleaning.

Simply blow off dust with an air compressor or canned air.

When you cleaning the fan using compressed air, block the fan with your finger so it doesn’t spin.

Very hight RPM can damage the bearing.

Now let’s take apart the display.

STEP 11.

There are no screws securing the screen bezel.

In order to separate it from the display cover, you’ll have to insert the guitar pick under the bezel and pull it away from the screen a little bit.

STEP 12.

Now you should be able to insert fingers under the bezel.

Wiggle the bezel to unlock hidden latches.

STEP 13.

Continue separating the bezel on the top of the display assembly.

STEP 14.

Now you can move to the lower part of the display.

STEP 15.

Remove the bezel completely.

STEP 16.

Remove four screws securing the LCD screen assembly.

STEP 17.

Carefully separate the screen from the display cover and place it the front side down on the keyboard.

STEP 18.

Now you can access the display cable connector.

STEP 19.

Remove clear tape securing the connector.

STEP 20.

Unplug the display cable from the screen.

STEP 21.

Remove the screen and replace with a new one if necessary.

This Acer Aspire Aspire-V5-572G-6679 had the following screen installed: N156BGE-EB1.

I easily found a new replacement when I searched by the model number.
