How To Install An Acer Laptop Hard Drive Step 1 Turn off the laptop and eject the battery. To avoid risking injury, you must shut down the laptop and remove the battery before attempting to install a new hard drive. This will prevent electricity from traveling through the laptop while you are working on it. Turn the laptop off through the Windows operating system and close the lid. Place the laptop upside down on a flat, level surface so that you can easily access the bottom of the laptop. Remove the battery by sliding the battery lock—found directly above the battery compartment—to the “unlocked” position. Open the battery bay and lift or slide the battery out. Wait until your Acer laptop has cooled off before proceeding to the next step. ********************************************************************************** Replacement Laptop Battery For ACER Aspire 3000 Specifications Part No: Aspire 3000 Battery Type: Li-ion Volt: 14. 8 V Capacity: 4400mAh Weight: 552. 83g Dimension: 211. 40×70. 60×22. 30mm Color: Black Promotion Price: AU $84. 19 (inc.

Most Acer store the hard drive in its own compartment near the battery for easy removal and installation. Check the user guide that came with your laptop to be sure which compartment contains the hard drive on your specific Acer model(Aspire 3020). Use a laptop screwdriver to remove the two screws that secure the cover to the laptop, then lift the cover to remove it. Step 3 Replace the old hard drive with the new one. When you open the hard drive compartment, you will see a removable metal cage. This is not the hard drive, but a protective compartment in which the hard drive is mounted. Carefully lift and pull the right edge of the hard drive cage to disconnect it from the motherboard. Use a laptop screwdriver to remove the screws securing the hard drive to the cage. After you remove the old hard drive, insert the new one into the metal cage, and then replace the screws. Slide the hard drive cage back into the compartment to connect it to the motherboard. Replace the hard drive compartment cover and secure its two screws to complete installation of the hard drive. ************************************************************************************** Replacement Laptop Battery For ACER Aspire 5100, acer aspire 5630 Specifications Part No: Aspire 5100 Series Battery Type: Li-ion Volt: 11. 1 V Capacity: 4400mAh Weight: 425. 25g Dimension: 135. 70×89. 00×19. 30mm Color: Black Promotion Price: AU $90. 72 (inc.
