Einleitung

Use this guide to remove and replace the Solid State Drive (SSD) in your Dell XPS 15 9520.

Before you perform this repair, back up your existing SSD if possible. If you’re replacing the SSD where your operating system is installed, familiarize yourself with a disk cloning utility so you’ll be ready to migrate your data to the new SSD.

Schritt 1

For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% and power down your device before disassembly.
Use a Torx T5 screwdriver to remove the eight 3.3 mm-long screws securing the back cover.

Schritt 2

Insert an opening pick between the bottom-right corner of the aluminum back cover and the chassis.
Leave the pick inserted before continuing to the next step.

Schritt 3

Insert the flat end of the spudger into the gap you just created.
Pry up to release the corner clips.
Repeat this process for the opposite corner of the back cover.

Schritt 4

Reinsert your opening pick under the aluminum cover at the front edge of the laptop.
Pry to loosen the cover.
Pry at multiple locations along the front edge to release all of the retaining clips.
Do not use a sliding motion along the front edge. This may damage cables near the trackpad.

Schritt 5

The edges of the back cover are very sharp. Use caution when handling it.
Lift the back cover off the chassis and remove it.
If the back cover feels stuck to the chassis, use an opening pick to release any remaining clips around the back cover's perimeter.
