Dell Inspiron Disassembly Instructions

Taking apart some laptop computers can be difficult, as is the case with the Dell Inspiron laptop. This computer has so many layers and screws that a person can quickly become confused and irritated during the disassembly. If you must strip the computer for repairs or upgrading, be sure to pack a lunch, and take a few breaks when you begin to feel overwhelmed. As long as you don't misplace any screws, the disassembly shouldn't be too painful.

Preparing the Inspiron for Disassembly
To perform this procedure, you'll need a small Phillips-head screwdriver, a small plastic wedge or a flat-head screwdriver, a small adjustable wrench or a 5mm hexagonal socket, a box of sandwich bags to put screws and small parts in, and a marker to label the bags.

Back up important information and power down the computer. Remove any external components attached to the computer and then take off the battery. Wear a wrist grounding strap or touch an unpainted metal surface to discharge the static from your body and now you're ready to take the Inspiron apart. Remember to put parts and the screws that hold them together in the same place so you don't get confused during assembly.

Start at the Top
Extract the screws on the hinge cover, open the LCD screen, and insert the plastic wedge or flat-head screwdriver inside the groove on the top-right side of the frame above the keyboard to pry the hinge cover off the computer.

Extract the screw on the memory module compartment and take the memory module cover off. Remove the optical drive screw and there is a latch that you can use to push the drive out of the computer. Disconnect the small cable for the modem. Extract the 12 screws that are visible on the bottom of the computer and turn the computer back over.

Finishing the Disassembly

Remove the graphics card screw (the graphics card is white and has an amber-colored cable on it) and gently pull out the graphics card adapter.
