Not considering that a laptop would ever come without access to the drive and the RAM, I bought upgrades for both in my Acer Aspire E5-571. In the days before they arrived I researched and was SHOCKED at what I would have to do to install them. So I bought the tools recommended from iFixit, printed out the guide pdf and got to work. It was tough, especially reconnecting the ribbons. But I took my time and got it done right. Took the better part of 3 hours. T'was a miracle my ham fists didn't break anything. Were it not for this guide and the iFixit tools (and a photo lupe and tweezers!) I could have never done this. I would've taken it to Geek Squad and probably been charged 200 bucks or more just for labor. Thanks Aaron and ifixit.

I followed the ram upgrade guide to upgrade to 16gb ram. After I turn on my laptop, nothing comes on the screen, not even the acer logo. The power led is on for some time and goes off. Is there a fix for this? Really need some help here.
