Very well done - thank you!
np. im glad it worked for you. could you post the exact model you have and was there anything I missed?
Great guide. I would just like to mention a difference I found. My laptop had white connectors and the hinged lock latch was black. So I guess all assemblies aren’t identical. Also, the large connector for the keyboard did not have a locking latch. My model is an E5-571P manufactured 2014/09/15.
Hi, I want faster Wifi. Which Wifi card do I need to replace for a Acer Aspire e15 e5-571-58E6?
Hi I just bought an upgrade, so I’ll tell you which one I got and if it worked when I get it in the mail in a few weeks.
