Introduction

This guide demonstrates how to remove the back cover to your Dell G15-5510 Gaming laptop.

Tools

Step 1

For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% and power down your device before disassembly.
Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the four screws securing the back cover.
Two 8 mm screws
Two 5.8 mm screws
Loosen the four captive screws.

On my G15 the 4 non-captive screws, marked in red and orange in this diagram, were all the same size.

Step 2

Insert an opening pick between the bottom-left corner of the back cover and the chassis.
Pry upward to release clips holding the cover in place.
Listen for a loud click to indicate a clip being released.

Definitely important to unclip the front first and then slide the back towards you. If you try to unclip the back first, you risk damaging the small plastic flanges on the cover.
