connjunction · Dec 10, 2014

Trying to find best way to change the hhd in my Acer ES1 511 COM4 to an ssd. This one is locked very tight and I an hesitant to remove all of the screws from the bottom until I know where I am going to change out the drives. Any help? Acer support was no help.

Didn't the laptop come with a manual? Service manual?

It came with a manual but absolutely nothing with regard to doing any inside maintenance on the laptop. No diagrams or instructions on how to remove the bottom and access the internal components.

I can find hardly anything about that model online. Lots of ES1-511-xxxx, but no COM4. Are you sure that is the correct model number?
This similar model Acer ES1-511 might be close enough to yours that it will give you some insight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPkad-3rKPM

So very close that I can easily see what to do now.

Thank you

You have been a huge help. Thank you. I did see when I got into the laptop that there are a few differences but I was able to find a work around. I did have the misfortune of purchasing a bad 4GB RAM chip so I had to go back in and put the original one back in. Other than that, everything is working well.
