Einleitung

If your Dell XPS 15 9560 boots up with the BIOS menu, produces a beeping pattern upon failure to boot, or has been experiencing hardware and software malfunctioning with all other fixes ruled out, there may be an irreparable issue with the motherboard and it will need to be replaced.

The motherboard is the central hub of the laptop. It distributes power throughout the laptop and allows the laptop’s hardware components to communicate with the processor.

Damage to a laptop’s body or damage by liquids leaking into a laptop can lead to a damaged motherboard. A motherboard may also fail over time as it ages. This is the worst case scenario for many laptops as a damage motherboard means the entire computer is no longer operable.

Before beginning, backup all important files to an external hard drive or a USB. Additionally, make sure the laptop is off and the laptop is disconnected from any power source.

    On the Dell XPS 15 9560 that I just did a battery replacement on the battery was not held in by torx screws. It was the larger 97wh battery and was held in by 6 phillips head screws. I was able to get them out with a PH1 bit.
