Introduction
This guide shows the necessary steps to replace the Acer Aspire V5-571-6889 motherboard, the central network of the computer which all components are connected to and use for communication with one another. Motherboards most often need replacement in an everyday use laptop if they have sustained damage from overheating or from the normal wear of all electrical components over time. However, upgrading a motherboard can have other benefits such as increased speed of the overall computer for gaming and increased quality of streaming content.
This guide will walk through the steps necessary for removing the motherboard starting from removing the top cover and keyboard to expose the motherboard, disconnecting the components in their recommended order, and finally removing the motherboard from the computer housing.
Before continuing with this guide, please make sure the computer is off and unplugged from all external power sources and follow the steps out of the reach of children.
