ACER 6930 take apart video, disassemble, how to open disassembly

Hi!
No music. No talking. Just work.
If you are taking your ACER 6930 laptop apart be careful and wear an anti-static wrist band or use other anti-static device. If you need to change a LCD usually you don't have to take screen out of a laptop. You can leave it on a laptop and watch the last part of the video where I am taking LCD apart. If you need to change a keyboard, you don't have to take all bottom screws out. There are usually some marks, like a keyboard picture, on a case bottom. If you need to put a laptop back to work be aware of screws. They are different and you better remember or mark them somehow to insure that you will put them back in to a right place.
Some laptops I take apart first time, so don't be serious on my time and performance.
If something got broken - ooops, it's your fault.
Believe me, some parts in your laptop are already broken, you just don't see that.
So, just watch this video and fix your laptop.
Have fun and good luck!!
regazzz
P.S. There is no reassemble video - that's why I have created a special channel for Backwards Playback Support for
each video that is missing reassemble. It is not the best possible solution obviously but better than nothing.

Just used this video this morning when I got stuck swapping out the HDD for an SSD: Gently pry out the HDD to remove it. BONUS! Found the SATA to laptop adaptor was removable and installed it on the new SATA SSD. Everything boots and works!😃👍🏻💻

I solved my fan problem by taking a new fan and holding it against the bottom of the case about where the old fan is located. I then drilled two very small holes in the bottom case in the approximate area of the fan screws. I was then able to loosen the screws thought the holes and pull out the fan and install the new one. This saved me from removing the entire guts of the PC just to replace the fan. The holes make no difference to the PC. Thanks again for the video and your replies.

I have Acer Aspire - 874G32Mn manufactured 09/04 and I must say this serie is one the best cooling design in the world, Temp up limit does not exceed 80 degrees celcius even under full load for hours (stress tests). I am still using my laptop and really happy with it.

regazzz for future reference if anyone is having the same problem with lines distorting the screen, you need to follow this disassembly video all the way to the bezel removal, then look for a strip of aluminium tape that is stuck on the inside of the bezel above the screen power inverter, simply remove this tape and all your problems will go away, i cant for the life of me work out why its even there in the first place.

I was stumped trying to loosen a HDD from this model. In this video you did it so very fast I could not see just what move you made to loosen the HDD from its connection to the motherboard. I did try sliding it a little & nothing happened, was concerned not to apply too much leverage. I did notice about 6 screws were missing from around the HDD due to previous technicians most likely losing them. I have successfully removed and replaced HDDs from other models, but this one stopped me cold. Other than that, a great video.

Thank you for replying so quickly. You are right - my eyes played a trick on me - I see now that you did not simply remove the base cover of the computer but instead had to pull off the entire guts out of the base cover from the top. That means this is the only way to replace the little grey fan at 11:53. The screws to this fan are under the base cover of the computer. To get to the screws I would have to remove almost all the internal organs from the top. Wish there was a better way.

Hey man, this videos is a "take apart video" so, it is basically depend on a model of a laptop. Te remove a keyboard - you will not need remove a LCD, but in some laptops to remove a palmrest you will need to remove LCD, because it is blocking it. At the start you can remove a keyboard and try a canned air, in fan, but be careful, don't make it spin a lot, fan can be damaged.

It'll say that it's 100% charged, but then just frequently dies. I have to put something under the charger plug to jack it up at an angle to get it to charge. It's very old still with Vista on it. Still going strong. I don't know if the power jack needs replacing or if it can be just tightened. It seems like those silver caps are screwed on. Mine just sits on my desk and I never move it or abuse it. Seems like just opening and closing the screen just wears it out. But it is like 15 years old!
