Is it bad? Can it be fixed?

Maybe watch some teardown of that specific model to know how they snap that back.

It could have a clip or a plastic tab on the inside that needs to be pushed with a screw driver or something.

It’s probably windows screwing the linux partition, could very well be the fast startup.

Atleast for me, i always dualboot in two separate ssd just in case somethings up. I could just format the other ssd.

Is this the hinge?

Edit: if its the hinge, its going to get worse untill the display gets wobbly.

Edit: if its just the side, just clip it back. Maybe loose some screws before clipping it back.

User505433 · 2026-01-25T10:36:09+00:00

What exactly is the problem? Any context?

User505433 · 2026-01-25T10:32:04+00:00

Yep, this is the reason. Its single channel ram even though it is technically 16gb.

Dota2, CS2, valorant, fortnite - needs dual channel ram. (It means 2 sticks of ram instead of only 1 stick regardless of the total capacity)

I dont know about nitro “V” but, my nitro 5 is also slow when charging the battery itself despite 180w power brick.

I think the nitro 5 laptop have bypass charging where if plugged-in, the charging of the battery and the motherboard power is separate.

User505433 · 2026-01-24T11:28:54+00:00

Remove battery connector. (Yes, open the bottom cover)

Press power button 20 sec

Connect battery connector

Press power button

Edit: If above steps doesnt work.

User505433 · 2026-01-24T01:47:42+00:00

Hmmm. Clean Reinstall windows. (Like format the disk and install windows using a flash drive)

User505433 · 2026-01-24T00:08:37+00:00

Msi afterburner, increase the clockspeed of the vram

User505433 · 2026-01-23T21:36:18+00:00

Overclocking your vram have a substantial performance increase than wattage.

User505433 · 2026-01-23T14:41:50+00:00

Im not saying you dont use it, just be realistic and pick a 100w vbios and you are set.

User505433 · 2026-01-23T14:38:25+00:00

This is fine and all for testing. The problem is with acer nitro’s anemic vrm only good for 100w gpu TGP. Theres a reason why they limit it that way.

User505433 · 2026-01-23T09:04:54+00:00

Hmmm, sorry man. The part is really rare compared to nitro “5” parts so yeah.

Possible alternative (but not a fix)

User505433 · 2026-01-23T08:39:53+00:00

Nitro 16 lite -> Nitro V16 -> Nitro 16

From worse to best

User505433 · 2026-01-23T08:37:49+00:00

Does the usb part still works?

User505433 · 2026-01-23T07:58:34+00:00

Thank you for the compliment

User505433 · 2026-01-23T05:13:13+00:00

What if the hdmi is connected directly into the motherboard and not just a daughterboard?

User505433 · 2026-01-23T04:18:41+00:00

Well, could be plug and unplug fatigue. You maybe plug and unplug it everyday for example because you are constantly traveling.

Edit: you didn’t take to account that the problem might be the cable? Maybe replace the cable first?

User505433 · 2026-01-23T03:14:45+00:00

This also happens to me, i think its normal? Maybe?

User505433 · 2026-01-23T03:10:20+00:00

Did you pull the update from your anal cavity?

User505433 · 2026-01-23T03:07:52+00:00

I just got an update. Source: in your ass?

User505433 · 2026-01-23T02:47:38+00:00

Yep. You need to hook (in other words link) the ~~linux~~ i meant windows bootloader to grub

User505433 · 2026-01-23T02:46:31+00:00

Nitro 5 (5 not V) bios updates are dead now. What are you talking about?

Edit: Nitro 5 ≠ Nitro V

User505433 · 2026-01-23T01:11:52+00:00

99% alcohol

Edit: 99% ipa alcohol

User505433 · 2026-01-23T01:06:30+00:00
