Very easy to follow. I successfully replaced my battery with no gotchas. Resetting the case cover definitely takes patience to make sure it snaps in on all sides.
Given the age of the video, this may have been pointed out, but on the battery replacement, I think you just got unlucky. I had all four screws in the battery. Thanks for the video though. It made things very simple to do.
Thank you! I didn't have your magnetic sheet, but used your suggestion in laying the screws out in the same pattern they came out. (Before watching your video I was getting ready to just drop them all down into a jar. lol) So, I was able to reinstall all of them except one, which I'll keep in case I have to take apart the computer again. Maybe it'll work the next time around. I'm lucky that it was just the one, since I'm notoriously bad with anything that has to be screwed - from jar lids on down. So, it could have been a whole lot worse. Thanks again.
Wonderful DIY video - really. |:-) I was just looking for battery info, but I watched all three parts replaced. I picture is worth a thousand words...and a video even more so. And the useful dry-writable magnetic pad tip. Thanks so much.
Nice video. You may have realized by now that the 2 "missing" screws for the battery are double duty screws that serve to secure the bottom panel and the battery. I've been trying to figure out if I can add a traditional 2.5" ssd along with the m.2 ssd. There is a connection point for sata cable HW01M which is sold separately. The BIOS does seem to list an empty slot for another ssd channel. But, there doesn't seem to be space for it nor screw holes for a ssd caddy. Additionally, Dell appears to have deliberately created plastic filler barriers that limit space and prevent a 2.5" drive from fitting. I'm thinking about cutting the barrier out just to see if I can fit a 2nd drive.
Yes. I had the same thoughts. If you do some searching, it does seem Dell sells, or sold, similar units outside the US that come with two drives. (Thumbs ups, likes, and shares are appreciated)
Thanks you so much for the video. I have a question regarding second hard drive. My BIOS shows 2 hard drive SSD0 (empty) and SSD1 (which is attached). I could not find any other SSD slot on the board. I see one HDD1 slot though. So the question is can I use additional hard drive (SSD preferred) in this laptop. If so then how?
How do you know when its time to change the battery inside? The battery was not bulging out ridiculously. My Battery Report says 2019-12-29 59,969 mWh 97,003 mWh. Currently I get 3 hours and 30 minutes on a full charge. It's been about 1 year and 6 months on my Dell XPS 9570 i9 and it's an extreme workhorse! I just want to make sure I change the battery at an appropriate time and I don't want to wait to long where it just dies on me!
very helpful - thank you! I have a Dell Inspiron 13, 7000 series. I went to the link in your description.... Is it safe for me to purchase 32 GB of RAM? It's a lot more expensive than the 16GB ... Anyone know where I can get a better deal?
Hello, I have a Dell Inspiron 15 7573 2-in-1 laptop. When I install an additional memory stick, i just get a black screen and can't even get into the BIOS. But with a single 8GB stick it runs perfectly fine. Originally wanted to upgrade up to 2x16GB = 32GB of memory, but it seems that everytime that I install both sticks, that's when I get the blackscreen. However when I have just one stick of 16GB Crucial memory in either one of the slots I get freezups after booting up into the desktop. I'm wondering if my laptop even supports Dual Channel mode.
Hello. Can I install and use both 2.5inch SATA SSD and M.2 SATA SSD together in dell inspiron 7460 as this laptop has both the slots ? or installation of one will disable the other SATA port? Thanks in advance.
Great video!! Question: I'm interested in adding more RAM to my Inspiron 15 7573 laptop. How do I determine what type or amount of RAM to buy? I appreciate it.
I bought this laptop thinking it can fit a 2.5 inch drive, but it doesn't have a slot for it. Any way to add a second storage drive somehow? I don't care what type, even a mechanical disk drive would be fine.
Thank you so much for this video. I changed the battery this weekend. It's been on a 24 hour charge. Have about 5 hours left but am using it now. I have noticed my touch pad isn't working correctly. left and right click don't click any more. Do you know what I might have done? Appreciate any advise. Thanks
Do they work and just not "click?" If they are not working, may be a ribbon cable, if it is just not "clicking" I think I recall the pad is under the metal bracket under the battery (around 4:50 in the video). Make sure the screws in that plate are tight.
@@cvideos9641 I took the touchpad out and put it back in. All is well. Crazy, now the laptop just shuts down, says battery is critically low. Lol I can't remember which old and which is new. I've done the thing where you disable and enable, I've checked the life of the battery by dividing the usage by the capacity on both batteries. They both show history back to 2017. Im thinking I might just get a new "refurbished" one from Dell for $110 just to see what happens. It's charging overnight I'll check it again in the morning. I wonder if frys can check the life of both batteries or if something is draining it. It was fine before I just wanted one that would last longer without charge. Now it only lasts about 20 mins.

Thank you fro the comment. The mat is barely magnetic, if you turn it over, all the screws would fall off. It's just enough to keep them from rolling easily. And from my research, the SSD's are not affected by magnets.

The battery screws are not missing. They go through the back cover and then through the battery into the threaded insert
Ah, excellent observation. Makes perfect sense.

when you replaced the harddrive ? Do you have to run to new window?
