Introduction

This guide will walk you through replacing the display assembly on your Dell XPS 15 9510 laptop. This step-by-step process is perfect if your assembly is damaged, cracked, or malfunctioning. Remember that the display assembly is fragile and to watch out for the case's sharp corners.

  1. YY1uMIXAKpsoTi6r

    • Make sure the laptop is powered off and unplug all cables before beginning any repair.

    • Remove eight 3 mm screws from the underside of the case using a T5 Torx screwdriver.

  2. CsyiMEh56dOAySMo

    • The metal case of the XPS 15 9510 is extremely sharp, so be careful not to run your fingers along the edge when disassembling the laptop.

    • Wedge the case apart with a nylon spudger.

    • If the plastic one isn't possible to insert, use the metal spudger to carefully create a small gap first.

    • Slide spudger along each side of the laptop

    • The metal case of the XPS 15 9510 is extremely sharp, so be careful not to run your fingers along the edge when disassembling the laptop.

    • Lift the back panel of the laptop off and set it aside.

    Please do not miss this warning of it being sharp...
    After opening a few laptops for my office, I have generally been fine. But after opening my own XPS... I had sliced my finger badly.

    A step is missing here: remove the two small black screws on each side of the display ribbon cable, as seen on step 2 of the Dell repair steps: https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-...

Missing a very important step.

Two small screws above the display cable clamp - Step 5 - need to be removed. If you look at the picture in step 5, the far left red/orange circle actually contains one. You can spot it inside and at the top of the of the circle. You can't separate the display assembly without removing those 2 screws.

Aren't there any cables that need to be removed?
