Memory upgrade
Most configurations of the Acer Aspire C27-1700 have SODIMM memory slots, so memory can be increased. We check what is fitted and the maximum the board supports.
Windows repair and reinstall
The Acer Aspire C27-1700 meets Microsoft’s Windows 11 requirements in most configurations. We upgrade from Windows 10, which reached end of support in October 2025, or reinstall Windows 11 cleanly with your files kept.
SSD and storage upgrade
The Acer Aspire C27-1700 has an M.2 slot and, on some configurations, a 2.5-inch bay. Machines that shipped with a hard drive are much faster once moved to an SSD.
Price confirmed before work starts
We also carry out motherboard repair, overheating and fan repair, virus removal on the Acer Aspire C27-1700, along with stand repair, no-picture and no-boot diagnosis, port repair, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card replacement and data transfer to a new PC.
What we see on the bench
- A dark screen with the PC still running usually points to the panel or backlight.
- All-in-one PCs use laptop-style parts behind the display, which is removed to reach most components.
