Inspiron 15 3552

Question

Hi, I have bought for my wife a new Inspiron 15 3552. I want to swap the standard drive with a SDD which I have. Normally you can just open the back and replace the drive. This Dell has however not a piece of plastic that covers let's say half of the back, there is just one piece of plastic covering the whole back. When I download the service manual which my service tag points to, I get a manual where I can see that you can remove the lower plastic part and see drive and memory. As I already mentioned this model has just not this piece of plastic you can remove. It seems you must somehow remove the whole back. Is there a service manual which describes this (newer?) model? Thanks JH

Looks like all fourteen screws around the perimeter of the base have to come out in order to remove the base cover. Recent systems I've seen have different-length screws in different places, so be sure you label the screws as you remove them.
