Acer Nitro repair

Acer Nitro 5, Nitro 16 and Nitro 17 gaming laptops.

About the Nitro

The Nitro 5 is one of the most popular gaming laptops in the UK. Overheating, noisy fans and broken DC sockets are the usual complaints, and all are repairable. Memory and storage are easy to upgrade.

Every repair starts with a free assessment and a fixed price. Nothing is done until you approve it, and repairs carry a 3-month warranty.

Nitro repairs

Screens

Gaming panels are matched by refresh rate as well as size and resolution, so a 144Hz or 165Hz screen is replaced with the same.

Batteries

The battery sits inside the case and is held by screws. We fit the correct part number and check that it charges and reports properly.

Keyboards and trackpads

The keyboard is fixed into the palm rest, so the two are replaced together as a top case. Trackpads are replaced separately.

Charging and power

Loose or broken DC charging sockets are replaced, and charging circuit faults are repaired on the motherboard.

Motherboard and liquid damage

No power, no display and liquid damage are repaired at component level wherever parts are available, instead of replacing the whole board.

Upgrades

Memory and storage are both accessible on most Nitro models, so SSD and RAM upgrades are straightforward.

Cooling

Fans and heatsinks are cleaned, thermal compound renewed and worn fans replaced. Performance laptops benefit most from regular cooling service.

Sending your Nitro

The model is printed on the base label, for example "Aspire 5 A515-56-50RS" or "Nitro 5 AN515-57". Send us that with a description of the fault and we reply with a price, normally the same working day.

We collect by insured courier from anywhere in the UK. See how the courier service works and how to pack your laptop.

Common questions

My Acer Nitro laptop runs hot and loud. Is that normal?

Warm, yes. Shutting down or losing performance, no. A cooling service with new thermal compound normally restores it.

Will a replacement screen match the original refresh rate?

Yes. We match the panel by size, resolution and refresh rate, so you get the same specification back.

Get a price from a technician

Tell us the make, the model and what has gone wrong. A technician replies with a price and the quickest way to get your laptop to us – normally the same working day.
