How do i open my laptop? [Acer Aspire 5720z Intel]?

Hi. If the architecture is the same as the 5710 which I imagine it is, follow this simple instruction.
1 Go to www.crucial.com and scan the pc so you know exactly what ram you need.
2. Turn your laptop over on your lap, so you are looking at the bottom.
3. You will see some compartments. there are 3 on the 5710. look for a symbol that resembles a hair comb and carefully undo the screws and ease up the plastic cover. Do Not Touch any components without touching a steel object to destatic your body. Static electricity can damage computer components especially ram.
4. When you insert ram you have to guide it in a 45 degree angle then with a finger push the top edge of the memory and it will sit flat and the two steel tabs either side will lock it.

Just a quick note. Remeber to absorb all the information given to you from the crucial scanner.
Good luck
