I can't find any videos for the E6510 but it's a bit different. This video is helpful as long as you don't try to force off parts that don't simply pop off as they do in this video. I will have to watch the video several times to figure out how to get to hidden screws that are different on the E6510.
You haven't cleaned CPU and haven't replaced old thermal grease with the new one. Was it wilful neglect? Shall I replace the paste with the new one or is it not necessary? What thermal paste is a "default" DELL's paste and/or which one do You suggest to use? Best regards!
I don't think it was necessary for him to remove the heatsink or CPU so I didn't recommend replacing the thermal compound. If you need to replace the thermal compound, I would suggest Arctic Silver. Unfortunately I don't know the name of Dell's default compound. If I'm doing a job that requires it, I try to use Arctic Silver.
Unfortunately you are probably going to have to replace the keyboard and palmrest. It sounds like you've tried everything else besides removing the palmrest and wiping it down with alcohol.
I was recently cleaning my dell E6400, when I was removing the palm rest from the main chassis I accidently popped off the latch that holds the small brown touch pad ribbon cable to the port on the motherboard. Since its removal I have been unable to reattach it. Is there any way I can get around this without having to purchase more parts?
+SomeWhat Logical Unfortunately I haven't found a good way to replace a cable latch that has come off. I have heard of people gluing them back into place but the cable connections aren't always that good. You can try it but if it doesn't work, chances are you would have to replace the motherboard.
+Parts-People.Com, Inc Thanks for the reply, I have a temporary method of right now. A small strip of electrical tape seems to be just fine until I can find a better method of keeping the cable connected. I was possibly thinking about soldering the contacts to each other though that may lead to damaging the cable.
i dumped a coffee on my keyboard, air dried the sucker for 24 hours, took the KB out and cleaned it and anything exposed with rubbing alcohol wipes and it works fine but the keyboard has some keys that aren't working and the trackpad/buttons do not work... any insight on what i should do here? is it fixable? what if i dunked the whole keyboard in a tub of alcohol? but what about the trackpad?
+Stu And Zo Palmer The left speaker grill is attached to the palmrest assembly. It's not a piece that is removed. You would have to replace the entire palmrest.
Thank you, this video was very helpful in replacing a faulty button on my E6400.
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching!
Super helpful video! Thank you!
thank you this was really helpful my trackpad thing was starting to go out

Hi, will this work the same on Dell E6400? And also is it the same part/assembly? Thanks

Hello, I can't find anywhere on the internet how to change the left speaker grille - it's driving me nuts - can anyone help?

does it support win 10
720p is just like 240p
I have to disassemble the whole thing for those buttons which are supposed to break on and off---not very smart from Dell!
