Can Adding An SSD To A Brand New Laptop Void It’s Warranty?
My only problem with the laptop I bought is that it doesn’t have a SSD but I got it for a good deal.

I really wanna put an SSD in but I’m afraid it might void my warranty.

(My laptop hasn’t arrived yet.)

Also if I’m careful, what’s the likely of me breaking anything?

My new laptop is a Asus Rog gl553vd.

No, it will not void the warranty, Dell replace my faulty keyboard after upgrading to a SSD, if you just open up the notebook and look inside. You can even perform upgrades without voiding the warranty. But if you go inside and while looking or performing any upgrade and damage the computer, that is not covered by warranty.
Contact the company that made the laptop about voiding the warranty. You didn't post the make or model of the laptop.

This is the ASUS warranty. https://www.asus.com/support/images/upload/5110447d-99b0-4c74-9953-6609ebd84c3a.pdf

If you look at Statutory Rights, and then 1. General, it says they won't cover any damage you may cause by improper installation.

I would still contact them.

Then you'll have to contact them and deal with it to plead your case if you do have an issue.

Of course if you damage the laptop the warranty is void.

Contacting Asus will only confirm what we already know.

Just install the new SSD, your warranty will not be voided by doing so. And it is very hard to do it wrong, a toddler could do it.

Don't worry about it and just slap that new SSD in there.

If you have shaky hands take the laptop to the PC shop where you buy the SSD and they will install it for you, it should only take a few minutes.
Well

Upgrading that laptop looks extremely easy compared to Most.

As long as you are careful it should be just fine.

Though personally i would remove the battery before any work is done on the laptop, if able to do so.

How do I remove the battery?
Well that depends on the laptop

You might not be able to remove it

Since the guy in the youtube vid didnt take his out it may not be possible.
With most laptops, no. Higher-end laptops often include maintenance panels for RAM/storage extension, even.
It appears to me based on the video BM linked that this laptop is quite hard to upgrade. Unless you have the proper tools it's best if you let a tech do it, or you might risk damaging the plastic when trying to pry it apart with a screw driver.

That feature is found just as often on normal mid-range laptops as it is on high-end gaming laptops.

Could I get an electric shook or something?
