Can anyone point me in the direction of a service manual for an Acer Aspire V3-571G?

 

5 years old & chugging along quite happily, but the ethernet card is acting up. Trying to work out if it'll be easier to replace the card, or just give up & get a whole new device.

 

Thanks in advance.

This might be it:

Looks like the ethernet port is embedded in the motherboard.

 

Might be easier upgrading the wifi card to a fast ac type.


 
 
 

Move to New Zealand's best fibre broadband service (affiliate link). Note that to use Quic Broadband you must be comfortable with configuring your own router.

Yeah like most laptops, it's on the motherboard. Either Wi-Fi or USB Ethernet adapter.

Thanks Jon. Looks like the good old days where everything was a pull-out/pop-in replacement are well long gone.

 

I've tried the reddit solution too & see what happens over the next couple of days. Looks like the original poster on that had same issue & the solution provided for them.

 

If not I guess, after nearly 5 years, it's time for a replacement.
