When you take screws out of a laptop, do not pile them up in one place. Use a magnetic mat or a piece of paper and clearly mark where the screws are taken from, this way it makes the job much easier when you put them back. You noticed not all the screws are the same size or length. Putting the screws back to the wrong place can tare into ribbon cable or damage the keyboard or motherboard if you are not careful.
Great video! This worked perfectly for me to upgrade my ram. I didn't disconnect the keyboard ribbon - just flipped up the keyboard to pull the screws. Thank you so much for making this easy for me! 👍
Excellent video. Thank you. I have to say - HORRIBLE design by Dell to force people to basically take apart their laptop just to upgrade memory. Just bad.
Not all their laptops have this problem the 15 5000 like the one I'm currently using they have a compartment where you can install the Ram without having to take apart the whole laptop, same with the hard drive.
I actually did this by my self (I am a 12 year old) since my mom didn’t wanted to use the left off RAM and put it on by professionals, I had to do it by my self and i noticed that your dvd plug is not there when you remove it, and to be honest it was not too easy to open without knowing to do this kind of stuff to upgrade the ram, Thank you!
Great video, I watched and followed it step-by-step, everything was exactly the same. I would never been able to figure it out without this video. Thanks so much for posting it...
First, this is an excellent video! With that in mind. here is a caveat for those who are doing this themselves. It took me about 45 minutes (she does it in eight!). My major problem was the keyboard. It didn't just pop right out. but instead took some serious wrangling, and I bent it in the process. It was quite frustrating. Then when it's time to reconnect the keyboard ribbon, there is a clip you need to make sure is clipped down that secures the ribbon. I didn't see it and my keyboard wouldn't work. Once I figured it out it was smooth sailing. With those problems in mind, this isn't a hard job, just a little nerve wracking if you're a novice like me.
@@rogerfranklin83 Looking back, I don't think so. If you keep the KB in, everything else is pretty easy. I had to wrestle with the actual memory a bit, but it finally popped in. Good luck!
This is a great video. It would be great to turn the music off and allow us to hear what you are doing, even if you don't talk. For example, hearing the keyboard click while you are using the guitar pick would be nice so we make sure to follow the same method. Thanks so much for such a thorough and easy to follow video.
Nice video - thank you for posting it. However, for the life of me, I don't understand why manufacturers don't use the old school flap with one screw to change memory and the hard drive. Taking various laptops apart can really drive you crazy and wreck your nerves. Often, the case doesn't come apart very easily and you end up using a spudging tool (or a guitar pick) and hoping you don't snap something. There has to be an easier way that doesn't increase cost and facilitates typical upgrades. Ben Price - San Antonio
Great video. Sense, there are something consider on removing laptop. We must try to remove the DVD drive first. *DVD Drive is available but no more option to remove the drive consider the case is tough and get user manual* 1.58min: There is a big circle surrounded 5 small circle > Upper part hole of DVD drive blog>Use a wooden ice cream stick to push the keyboard up> Now right side of key board is slightly up and easy to hold with hand when keyboard holder pin is open..
There is no need to disassemble the keyboard! You only have to do that if you're gonna take the MB apart, like when replacing the internal 2.5 drive...
They say that in the olden days, the RAM and hard drive used to be in compartments in the bottom, so you didn't have to tear the whole machine apart to make an upgrade.
thank for the video maine abhi abhi apna laptop open kiya tha hdd ki problem dikha rha tha maine saf krke fir se lga di or laptop start ho gya thank u sir
Thanks a lot Miss wanissa .You save mine 200 bucks worth for installing ram in the shop .You made my day thanks a lot and upload other laptop related educational videos
My dell inpiron 15 3543, had straight forward window of a quarter of back plastic attached with 1 screw, it was a 1 minute job to upgrade SSD and ram is also easily accessible.
For anyone stuck on the optical drive: Unplug the odd cable from the motherboard, snap the connection into the bottom case right where "odd con" is printed. Snap the case together and slide in the drive.
I just ordered some ram for my Inspiron 15, I am sure glad you posted this, I would never have figured this out on my own. Much more complicated than my older Inspiron! Thanks so much!
The disk drive ribbon wire was already disconnected in the video. I about ripped mine off pulling the back panel off. But thank you for the video very helpful.
Exactly. I just wanted to write about sata connector of a DVD drive exactly in this model. I also did destroyed wire ribbon while opening back panel. I did not expect that sata connector will be on a panel but not on the mainboard side. You cannot imagine how much problem it did for me. Oooh. I can't imagine where i can find a new one, moreover it was a client's laptop, not mine. So in this video no any attention to the wire ribbon of the DVD drive What did you do with it?
For those who cannot pull the DVD drive out use this trick: turn the laptop upside down. Make sure the battery is pulled out. In the battery's place there is a rectangular hole next to the "ODD RV" text where you can see part of the silver DVD drive. Push the DVD drive out using a screw driver or whatever. That won't break anything if all the screws are pulled out.
This laptop and my laptop are the same 15 3000 Series. I am watching is video from Bangladesh. Thanks, brother for this video. I also update ram and SSD in 2024
There are so many BAD videos of how to do this. This is a GOOD one..the only one to watch to see how to upgrade RAM on the Dell Inspiron 3558. Thank you!

Whatever you do, take out the two screws from the bottom case (one at each Hinge) LAST, just before opening the case. And put them back in First when closing.
Thank you. Mine is a 3552 (3000 series?) and your instructions were ight on except that you computer shows 2x4 RAM and mine has only one RAM slot. I bought 4gb RAM based on your video and when I disassembled my laptop, saw this and had to return the RAM and buy a single 8gb card. But it worked- so far... :)
This video helped me get an old laptop computer apart so I could upgrade it with an old SSD drive. Then I went ahead and upgraded the RAM too. Now I get a little bit more life out of them. Thanks for the video.
This Dell is like my old GMC Acadia... 20 steps to do something simple. What happened to one screw to open a panel to upgrade the memory? 😁 Anyway, thank you for this vid. Perfectly demonstrated. Very much appreciated.
I have spent 4 decades reading schematics for diagnostics & repair, but on vehicles. My Dell A/C adaptor detects a short and GRN LED goes out, two good adaptors, battery out, same problem on this 3 year old unit. Now my question; I have a Dell Inspiron 15, series 3000. The info behind the RAM shows "Cedar AMD-MB 13283-1. Now, most numbers show an additional 4 digits, like 5632 then my 3283. Where do I find the correct numbers? Where do I go to find the diagnostics, flow chart and schematics once I have the correct #'s for this dead Dell? Retired against my will, just had 10 screws & two bars in my lumbar the July 2020. Surprise! Life is hard on body parts, nerves, rotator cuff, elbows... I just worked hard to keep my family happy and give them childhood memories and did. We spend most of our life getting things, but the last part, selling or giving it or children and grandchildren. I just got my first phone in 11 years turned on in June. Yes, 11 years, no smart phone or any kind. Just use my (# 3 of 5 dead laptops/ included Mac Air) to pay bills & get parts. I fix our stuff... Hopefully, I can add laptop to that list. Thanks, Liked, Subscribed & Blessings. ASE Master Tech since 1978 - Retired
I just added 8gb of ram to my laptop and this video really helped! Yes Dell has horrible laptop designs unlikely some brands that just need you to take off one cover and insert.
Great video. I found the keyboard removal and screws beneath the keyboard to be completely unnecessary. The dvd drive is held in with one of the rear screws that mist come out anyway. Other than that it was spot on, even showing how to fix the dvd drive cover which snapped off in the video.
Exelente gracias esta lapto estaba buscando como desarmarla por que la ultima vez que la lleve a un técnico le robaron partes originales y es molesto 😒😡😠😠 por que le quitaron partes originales por eso prefiero desarmarla yo mismo asi no le roban nada gracias
Thanks for posting - I suppose others beat me to the punch on this comment on this, but Jesus!! Why the hell did they make it this complicated. I'm hoping my model is easier.
FYI little plastic tabs on the DVD-ROM tray cover will be permanently broken. If any part of it pops off like it does in this video, it's already too late
I currently have this model as my first laptop. I plant to upgrade my ram from 4GB to 16GB so that my computer will operate much smoother and faster (and to feed Google Chrome). But after watching this video, I am terrified of how much parts I must remove to even get to the ram compartment. The worst part that I must take off is the keyboard using a GUITAR PICK.
I have a challenge for myself play GTA 5 or apex or any good looking game in medium res on the inspirion, anyways this helped out a lot and I’m planning to use a motherboard from an actual good pc
Thanks for this video. Great help this one. By the way, after installing the additional ram, are there any other processes i have to do, or the new ram will work upon turning the laptop on?
Thanks for share this video is great 👍 Oh yeah for this laptop model upgrade memory is not so easy, but the price is good based on features again others more expensive models. I did the RAM upgrade + hard drive replacement by HD solid and the result was great, good performance and low cost
@@aldodifilippo1713 tengo la misma duda, en la pagina de dell.com dice que la cantidad maxima soportada son 8gb, pero en otros sitios y videos dicen que soporta 16gb pero la verdad que nadie lo ha demostrado que soporte eso tu podrias demostrar en un video que soporta mas de 8gb?
Well done, keep the music, don't listen to these idiots who don't do this stuff for a living. Some of us get sick and tired of having to select music to replace the boring silence, coughing, and lack of music in most of these disassembly videos. Even though I've been doing this for nearly 20 years, I like to watch these videos before I crack open a machine, in order to avoid any possible snags or pitfalls that often accompany working with expensive technology that doesn't belong to you. Thanks!!!
Thank you for making this informative video, it is very helpful. Can you suggest which RAM brands and models will be suitable for upgrading the RAM for the Inspiron 15 3000 series? Thanks again.
they want to make it diffcult to upgrade people who buy this laptop does not have money enough so the usually upgrade and improve their laptop instead of buying a new one and of course dell don't want that
It uses a 260 pin DDR4 @ 2666Mhz. Make sure that you don't get a 288 pin which is for a desktop. Max RAM is 16GB with 2 slots. Brand doesn't make much of a difference. It's OK to mix and match. I added 8GB RAM along with the OEM 4GB for a total of 12GB with no problem.
Interesting, before I opened it up all online documentation stated this laptop had 1 DDR3 slot. Now that I've opened it I see where it says ddr4 B. Got to love the online documentation
Why? do you want to play heavy games on that laptop? Maybe your Dell laptop has good dedicated gpu but it's design really ruins the experience. That heat will destroy your battery and ic. Mine shut down automatically after 30 to 45 min due to high temperature, if I play games like rise of the tomb raider. Buy PC for gaming.
Thanks for the video. I was able to successfully add the RAM. But somehow my DVD drive does not fit back in. I tried to push it hard, still no luck. But in the video it just slides in smoothly. Am I missing something while pushing the dvd back in place?
I thought I had to go through what you did until all I had to do for my model was unscrew one screw from the bottom and remove this plastic piece and the hard drive, RAM, and WiFi card is under there.
Hi wannisa. Thanks for the upload. ❤️ Can you please tell me from where did you got this screw driver that's suitable for all of the screws as I know that the one i.e. in the middle is very small and inside as compared to the rest. P.S. If you bought it online, then please do share the item link. As i can't find a single screw driver able to remove all the screws. Thanks again.
Awesome but when I open my laptop for cleaning the fan. ,there was no fan 😂😂😂😂 🤣 then I came to know that it has a copper cooling system lol all my hard work was waste but then closed it up.😁 But it was I great video 👍👍
Thank you for this, I needed to add to my laptop same as yours. But may I ask, what's the spec of the RAM you as added to your Dell inspiron 15 3000? I wanted to use it as well for gaming. What would you recommend? Thanks again!
Why do you have to remove the keyboard the screws underneath it to remove the bottom panel of the laptop? I need to replace my drive. It would be SO HELPFUL to tell people why the keyboard needs to be taken out.
The video ruclips.net/video/AAqP9nxZa8I/видео.html tells you why you have to remove the keyboard, because there are screws underneath the keyboard that screws INTO the bottom panel of the laptop!
When you take screws out of a laptop, do not pile them up in one place.

cutemimi25 - every Dell I owned prior to this model were as you described. I’m not sure why they deviated from that more upgrade efficient design.
Eric Brewington I see what you mean.
Eric Brewington Well, at least they allow you to upgrade the ram...
Edit:Hahhahahhahahhah

Does the keyboard have to come out?

@@zuider77 what ram is required?
@@rogerfranklin83 It just depends on how much you want (I got 16 gigs). Go to www.crucial.com/ and take a look at the different amounts.

This is EXACTLY what I needed!!!
Me too
What a crappy design where u have to dissemble the the whole system to just upgrade the RAM.... Anyways thanks for the info.😘
You're very welcome :)
The 5000 model I used to have had a compartment where you can access the ram and hard drive easily without having to disassemble the whole laptop.
Most laptops are like that. The old heavy bricks are not though
Had a old hp that was a better wepon than laptop but sure was easy to upgrade ram

For those who where wondering like me the type of ram.
Type of Ram is 1Rx8 PC3.
another name DDR3 for laptops
Nice, can you use DDR4 with this laptop? I bought mine in late 2017. So it uses 1 8GB for one of the two slots, so I can add any RAM for the 2nd slot?
The disk drive ribbon wire was already disconnected in the video. I about ripped mine off pulling the back panel off.
But thank you for the video very helpful.

One question, how much is the máx capacity for ram ?
16GB I believe anything more will start to slow down your laptop and you’ll see performance start to go down.
i just read about a checker in crucial.com. Search your device brand, series and model
Any amount of ran that you can get

Better to unpin dvd ribbon which on the front as it may be damaged while on the process
Well done, keep the music, don't listen to these idiots who don't do this stuff for a living.
Some of us get sick and tired of having to select music to replace the boring silence, coughing, and lack of music in most of these disassembly videos.
Even though I've been doing this for nearly 20 years, I like to watch these videos before I crack open a machine, in order to avoid any possible snags or pitfalls that often accompany working with expensive technology that doesn't belong to you.
Thanks!!!
Thank you for making this informative video, it is very helpful. Can you suggest which RAM brands and models will be suitable for upgrading the RAM for the Inspiron 15 3000 series? Thanks again.
Thanks...My lappy is exactly same to yours...
The Inspiron 6400 from 2006 is miles ahead of this in terms of design.
they want to make it diffcult to upgrade
people who buy this laptop does not have money enough
so the usually upgrade and improve their laptop instead of buying a new one
and of course dell don't want that
May i knwo the exact model of the ram so i can easily look for it without opening yet the laptop?
It uses a 260 pin DDR4 @ 2666Mhz. Make sure that you don't get a 288 pin which is for a desktop. Max RAM is 16GB with 2 slots. Brand doesn't make much of a difference. It's OK to mix and match. I added 8GB RAM along with the OEM 4GB for a total of 12GB with no problem.
Would you please tell us the slots provided for installing additional ram to this laptop ?
yep
Interesting, before I opened it up all online documentation stated this laptop had 1 DDR3 slot. Now that I've opened it I see where it says ddr4 B. Got to love the online documentation
Why? do you want to play heavy games on that laptop?
Maybe your Dell laptop has good dedicated gpu but it's design really ruins the experience.
That heat will destroy your battery and ic.
Mine shut down automatically after 30 to 45 min due to high temperature, if I play games like rise of the tomb raider.
Buy PC for gaming.
I WAS NINE WHEN I FUJCING UPGRADED THE RAM IN THIS BEAST AND I FUCKENFBDJDNDU DID IT LMAO
Worked like a charm!
No guitar (pick)? - Using a credit card to lift the keyboard also works :)
It's not a guitar pick, lol
Thanks for the video. I was able to successfully add the RAM. But somehow my DVD drive does not fit back in. I tried to push it hard, still no luck. But in the video it just slides in smoothly. Am I missing something while pushing the dvd back in place?
I thought I had to go through what you did until all I had to do for my model was unscrew one screw from the bottom and remove this plastic piece and the hard drive, RAM, and WiFi card is under there.
Que caracteristicad tienen esa tarjeta madre? Que procesador o cpu trae? Cuanta memoria ram soporta esa tarjeta madre?
I came here so that I could run GTA 5 smoothly😅😅
BTW, awesome
Thanks for your help i can't do this without your help
Gotta love Dell laptops. You can buy three Inspiron 15 3000 laptops and no two of them look the same.
Very helpful sir. Thanks
You are welcome :)
Thanks for the video! I needed to harvest some ram and this helped!
Merci pour vôtre aide qui m"a permis de démonter et upgradé un dell inspiron 3552 avec 8go de ram et un ssd de 250 go. antoine France
Hi wannisa. Thanks for the upload. ❤️
Can you please tell me from where did you got this screw driver that's suitable for all of the screws as I know that the one i.e. in the middle is very small and inside as compared to the rest.
P.S. If you bought it online, then please do share the item link. As i can't find a single screw driver able to remove all the screws.
Thanks again.
Awesome but when I open my laptop for cleaning the fan. ,there was no fan 😂😂😂😂 🤣 then I came to know that it has a copper cooling system lol all my hard work was waste but then closed it up.😁
But it was I great video 👍👍
Thank you for this, I needed to add to my laptop same as yours. But may I ask, what's the spec of the RAM you as added to your Dell inspiron 15 3000? I wanted to use it as well for gaming. What would you recommend? Thanks again!
This Notebook takes an Sodimm DDR4 RAM module at 2400Mhz. This info can taken from the Dell page.
Thank you very much for this video. It saved my day. Cheers!
You're welcome!
Why do you have to remove the keyboard the screws underneath it to remove the bottom panel of the laptop? I need to replace my drive.
It would be SO HELPFUL to tell people why the keyboard needs to be taken out.
The video ruclips.net/video/AAqP9nxZa8I/видео.html tells you why you have to remove the keyboard, because there are screws underneath the keyboard that screws INTO the bottom panel of the laptop!
Your videos always super bro 👍👍
Thanks for creating this video!
You're welcome :)
