This guide will walk you through the process of replacing a dying or dead fan in an Acer Nitro 5 AN515-53-55G9. If your computer produces excessive heat or noise during compute intensive tasks like gaming, it’s likely indicative of a problem with the computer’s fan. It may also help to clean your existing fan by removing it as shown in this guide and blowing out any dust buildup. If replacing the fan does not solve your issues, you may be able to further address any heat management issues by reapplying the thermal paste in your heatsink.

Sometime after Step 3 but before Step 5, you HAVE TO unscrew and remove the hard drive. If you do not, you will inadvertently pull the drive’s cable out of its connector on the motherboard when you remove the back cover.
This happened to me, and I spent a good hour freaking out that I had trashed the computer.
After looking closely at the motherboard, I was finally able to find that connector. It is underneath the connector to the USB board, and it’s easy enough to reconnect it once you also disconnect the cable to the USB board.
But you will save yourself a WHOLE LOT of trouble if you carefully remove the hard drive first before you remove the back cover.
I pulled the drive’s cable out of the motherboard connector. I think I plugged it back incorrectly but now I can’t find the drive on my computer. Do I have to somehow boot the drive up or is it just plugged in incorrectly?

I freaked out reading your comment because i couldn't find my hard drive. Then i realized that i have a ssd and it's not installed at that spot.
When it said that to just pull out the fans it never told me that i had to remove the tape and now I’m scared to take the tape off is this needed?
