If your Dell XPS 15 computer screen (model L501X/L502X) is having display issues that have to do with a malfunctioning screen, use this guide to replace the screen.

Before using this guide, inspect the computer screen and make sure that the display issues are rooted from screen failure rather than from internal hardware issues.

This guide includes work with small components and data storing components. When handling both internal and external computer hardware, be cautious of any static that may result from maneuvering any electrical pieces.

Make sure to turn off the device and unplug it from any electrical outlets before beginning the technical guide.

    • Remove the black battery bar from the computer before continuing any further operations.

    • Unscrew the three 5mm Phillps #2 screws on the left side of the back panel.

    • Lift up the left side of the panel.

    • There are three tabs holding in the right side of the panel. Pull the panel up and away from these tabs to remove it.

    • Before prying up on the cover, you may have to first remove a screw located inside the battery compartment (M2X3) and release the two latches. If you don't release the latches, you may snap the cover.

    • Pry up the top of the cover first by using a spudger to wedge in between the cover and base of the computer.

    • Once the spudger is between the cover and the base of the computer, wedge underneath the remaining border surrounding the keyboard.

    • Cracking sounds are normal. Be careful and take your time removing this panel.

    Please add a picture of the location of the two latches.

    • Work your fingers underneath the cover. Then, delicately pull the cover off of the computer.

    • The mouse pad is connected to the rest of the computer via two cables underneath the cover. These cables must be unhooked before the cover can be completely removed.

    • Unhook the cables connected to the mouse pad by flipping up the black tabs that hold either cable in place.

    • Releasing these cables can be done by hand or by using a spudger.

    No need to unhook. One can easily access the drive with this cable still attached.
