Is it possible to take the black plate off to replace the keyboard? Is it easy?
Hi Harry, take a look at my reply to Kevin down below. I did it yesterday, and it wasn’t too hard, but it would have been a lot easier if it were screws instead of plastic melt rivets. FYI, this was on a V5-573p-9899 with the US backlit keyboard.
Great guide, but if you have any information on removing the keyboard that would be very useful!
Hello, I have one question. Where was the screen cable connected to the motherboard? I re-watched the picture 5 and still don’t understand.
Please check acer-aspire-v5-573g-disassembly-6.jpg. You can find the LCD cable connector under the white label beside the heatsink.
Never mind found it. It was under the sticker.
can you post pictures of how to remove the keyboard, please?
Hey Harry & Kevin, about the keyboard, I did this yesterday:
Look at the 2nd to last picture, the closeup of the top half of the case after the motherboard is removed. The black plastic has a sticky backing, peel off the top and left side where it is stuck to the plastic chassis starting at the two foil tape pieces at the top. Once that’s peeled back you should have access to all the plastic melt rivets that hold the metal tray to the chassis. I snipped them off using some flat head pliers, and you won’t need to snip all of them. There are some that connect the metal tray to little brackets along the left and right sides. You only need to snip the ones holding the metal tray onto the plastic chassis. Once you have all the rivets broken you can pull off the metal tray and then remove/reinstall the keyboard. I then used electrical tape and some finesse to reassemble the top half and secure the metal tray to it as best as possible. The motherboard screws and hinge screws hold the assembly and black plastic layers in place, but the tape helped hold the keyboard in place at the edges. It’s not 100%, but it’s very close and much better than paying for the $150 full top tray assembly. I hope this helps!
Hey! In terms of replacing the keyboard, was that with the backlight keyboard? Because that is what I have. Would that be the same process as what you stated above? Thanks!
How is the LCD module removed? Is it just a matter of unscrewing the hinges?
Yeah, I have a V5-573G-54208G75aii and I’m trying to replace the LCD screen unit. Could you expand upon that process?
You can try to replace the screen and write a replacement guide. I can give you a contributor account, and you can publish your guide on our website. Thank you very much!
I can’t open the bottom case. I tried, but it does not open. Which side must I pull first? I don’t want to break anything there. Maybe you have a video. Thx
I would also like to know this? I do not know how to remove the bottom without breaking anything
On that motherboard is an mSATA port just below the WLAN card. Also, how many memory slots are there? Is it a pair or just one? Not clear enough from the photos.
Acer Aspire V5-573G only has one spare RAM slot.
Is Acer Aspire v5 573g-74508G1Taii has free mSATA port?
Is there a rundown for hinge replacement?
Sorry! there is no guide for replacing LCD hinges. If you are interested, please publish your guide on our website. I’m very appreciated.
