Use this guide to replace the hard drive in your Dell Inspiron 15 5584.

The hard drive is a component that gathers and contains data within your device. A faulty drive can slow operation and cause application crashes as well as the loss of files.

If you are sure the issue is your hard drive, make sure to save your files to an external storage device before any tampering in order to save data that could be lost otherwise. Be sure to drain the battery and shut down the device as removing the battery is necessary to remove the hard drive. A live battery serves as a fire hazard and can cause personal injury or component damage.
