Acer Spin 5 SP513-51-57TP Motherboard Replacement

Why should the user turn off the laptop? Also, be sure to proofread carefully for end punctuation.

Check screw feedback from iFixit throughout your guides.

Where can I find these 6.5mm replacement screws? Seems like a lot of people report that they fall out easily.

Thanks so much for the helpful web page! GPK

Proofread each step carefully. See the caution. Also, how can the user ensure they don’t bend/crack the back? I think I need more detail in the first step here. Perhaps try to integrate more specific directions in the command text, so you don’t need the information bullet. I also think a flipbook style shot could help demonstrate appropriate removal.

How? Try to avoid telling people what to do instead of how to do it. Verbs like “disconnect” and “remove” can be performed multiple ways, so you want to make sure you’re clear about how to do it.

My screws had two different lengths. I did not notice that until they were all removed. Took me time to figure which ones required the longer screws. Best to note this as the screws are being removed. Also, when screwing in the 4 fasteners nearest the keypad, I over tightened and tap to click did not work. After loosening, all is well.

Note that you told them to remove the battery, but the battery is in in the pictures here. This is a good example of a flipbook shot, though, so just retake with the battery out.

Here, the caution seems unnecessary. See feedback about screws. I know this was challenging because you didn’t have a hard drive, but the feedback from iFixit indicates how this component is secured. Apply same feedback in the next step.

What size ssd can be used.

I don’t think the caution is required here. You just told them to remove the battery.

The step seems awkward—it’s missing articles. For the information bullet, it’s not clear how this information is important, so add some more context to be clear about why this information is important.

Be sure to use commas after introductory phrases. I think you need one more step indicating that the user should remove the fan, and how.

Be sure to remove extraneous bullets.

I think these images would be more helpful if your hand and the component was more the focus of the image. The action is kind of buried in the bottom right hand corner. Also, how should the user pull the wire out.

Can you add a third shot to make this more like a flipbook?

The first step is convoluted. Can you clarify? Proofread both bullets. Also, be sure to use orange on the second step with coinciding markup, instead of two red bullets.

Do you have a picture of what it looks like when the cable is removed? Both images look the same.

Do you have a before shot with the tweezers to make this more of the flipbook style?

How should they remove the wire? Also, be sure to use markup appropriately.

If there are multiple ways to remove something, be sure to add modifiers to indicate how (e.g., tug, rip, gently lift, slide, etc.).
