Use this guide to replace the battery in your Acer Aspire A515-51G Laptop.

For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your device. This reduces the risk of fire if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

    • Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the eighteen 6.6 mm screws securing the case.

    WARNING, WARNING WILL ROBINSON!!

    Before you remove the lower case, you MUST remove the HDD as it is attached to the lower case. If you pull the lower case up with HDD still attached you will rip the HDD cable off the motherboard. So ...

    Unscrew the HDD hatch.

    Pull HDD hatch on lower right off carefully.

    Unscrew the four black screws holding the HDD assembly to lower case.

    Carefully pull the HDD cable off the HDD (careful here, you could rip cable off motherboard).

    Carefully pry HDD assembly upwards (with spunger) and remove HDD.

    Now proceed with rest of remining steps.

    Would someone be able to attach photos to these steps. I don't have the ability to do so, easily.

    Hi Stephen, our device didn't have an HDD installed so I was unaware of this. I have updated the guide accordingly, thank you!
