Hey there! Just a quick heads-up: if you're feeling a bit lost or need an extra set of hands, don't hesitate to schedule a repair. We're here to help you every step of the way!
Ready to give your ACER Aspire V5 laptop a touchpad makeover? This guide will walk you through the complete process of replacing that old touchpad with a shiny new one. Let's get started and bring your laptop back to life! If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
Step 1
- Alright, close that laptop and give it a little flip! Look for the battery slide release, which we’ve highlighted with a handy red circle just for you.
- Grab a pointed tool (we went with a trusty screwdriver) and slide that release to the right while you're facing the laptop from the non-battery side.
- Now, gently pull the battery away from the laptop while keeping the slide release in the open position. Easy peasy!
Step 2
- Let's kick things off by unscrewing those two Phillips #0 screws. You've got this!
- Once you've tackled those screws, flip your laptop over and give it a nice open. Time to dive in!
Step 3
- Grab your trusty Jimmy tool and slide it between the top of the keyboard and the outer panel. Give a gentle nudge to pop those top tabs out of their cozy spots.
- Before lifting the keyboard completely, take a moment to carefully detach the two flex cables. This step is crucial to avoid any cable mishaps.
- Once those cables are safely disconnected, lift the keyboard off the laptop and place it on a safe, non-static surface. You're doing great!

- Now, with a gentle touch, use tweezers to carefully pull those cables out of their cozy ports.
Step 5
- Slide a Jimmy between the front and back panel of your laptop with ease.
- Gently twist the Jimmy tool in your hand until the top panel starts to pop loose. Keep going around all sides until the top panel is completely free from the main body.
- Carefully lift the top panel away from the main body and give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done!
