Tools that i use frequently that are Ali-express Affiliate linked

This is the Blue Pad i always have on my videos usually set at 60 Oc
I use this to soften adhesive on mobile devices.

my go to glue for almost everything now days!

Used to open ipad and remove glued back covers on phones

When using the heat gun near sensitive parts, its best to cover them
With this to protect them

The usual tape i use on most repairs, on screens

For things that need more Stick!,usually on tablet digitizers

A Similar tool kit to mine, that i use for those random screws that you dont normally see

My Soldering Station i use, so far it has been good

This was a purchase to learn a bit more in micro soldering
So far it has been a great purchase

Advanced readouts of power draw on devices

A Simple Amp tester to see if your charger is actually putting out power

The Black Tweezers i use in my videos

This is the same as the metal pry tool i use, different brand printed on it

A New Version of the pry tools

This is the kit i purchased to do micro soldering, if you see a video
of me micro soldering it was captured on this cameras feed

The Charging station i use out the back, usually having multiple devices connected
Doesn't support Fast charging but still does a good job

One page i go to when I'm curious what new repair tools are out is:

Thanks for the video! It is very helpful. And haha I like your notification. "MY MAN!"

[agasiharel]

Thank you for your help with this video. I just upgraded my laptop (the same) with elite ddr4 32gb 3200. Working great.

[lsepolis]

So, on the left inside the Laptop: Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-53S3 Laptop exist space for traditional SSD SATA III along with the NVMe comes preinstalled, correct?

[jamesrobertson]

Really helpful video. Thanks for posting!

[woodstream]

They should be embarrassed selling it with 128G considering window bloat. Mine came with 512G and I'm adding a 2nd 2T drive. Could i put in a 2nd SSD and clone HD1 then replace HD1 with the new SSD?

Hello! I just have a question, I'm thinking about getting the (Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-32DK), and I want to upgrade the ram. Where do a find the right ram to upgrade?

[raimondasandrejauskas]

Hello, what is the limit upgrade of memory on A515-56-33P8 model?
Now it has in total 8GB. I think 4gb is soldered and it has 1 slot with 4GB inserted at now.

[byrondot]

Thanks for so good video. One question: for what is visible, this laptop can get one more SSD 2.5"?

[jalowery]

I just picked up one of these, however I've already set it up. If I buy these upgrades is there any other requirements/setting changes/software installs needed to make use of them? I'd like to maximize my laptops potential but I'm concerned I might not have the necessary knowledge to do so?

I have the exact model, does it have the back lit keyboard ability, the f8 key is blank also does the size of the ddr4 ram I want to install matter (example 8gb, 4gb, 16gb) and the laptop says 1 of 8 slots used. I don't think it has 8 ram slots built in. So what does that mean, or does it really have 8 slots?

[macjadefilms]

My a515-56-77J7 has 12gb total memory, but there is only 1 4gb ram stick inside, as purchased from Best Buy. Is there 8gb more in there, hidden? And, can I replace the ran stick with any other? The ram stick pre-installed looks the same as the one you had put in, were you upgrading from 8-12gb? Sorry for the long post, but I need answers.

[phillipbuffington]

I'm having a problem disconnecting the battery connector it feels stuck almost for me n I don't know how to grip it n get it out

[Quiel.]

Hello, do you think I can use the 2.5" HDD slot for a 1TB 2.5" SSD instead? My unit is A515-56-53rz. I'm hoping for your response. Thank you

[botandochispa]

Hey bro, i have the same laptop, but, in the task manager, in the apart of Memory, it tells that i have 1 of 2 slots used, so, i disambled my laptop to put another memory, but, in the motherboard i saw an only slot, can u bring me a opinion about that? thanks . :D

[nicholaswalker]

I ordered a 1 TB NVMe ssd to upgrade my laptop. Do you know if I need to take any special steps to make sure the operating system loads and works properly once I switch them out?

[driftstickz]

Have the a515-56-5385, Has the same shell but silver and an i5 instead. My memory is constantly being used 70%. Do you think I can upgrade the expand the ram? And what ram did you use for this one, was it DDR4 or something else?

[Recybi]

is it fine if I do not disconnect the battery? I'm planning to upgrade my RAM but it's too hard to disconnect the battery. I might break the wires if I force further.
