Vostro 15 3530 Owner's Manual

Removing the display assembly

1. Disconnect the speaker cable from the connector on the system board.
   NOTE:This step applies only to computers shipped with a plastic chassis.
2. Disconnect the display cable from the connector on the system board.
3. Unroute the wireless-antenna cable from the routing guides on the palm-rest and keyboard assembly.
   NOTE:This step applies only to computers shipped with a plastic chassis.
4. Remove the four screws (M2.5x5) that secure the display hinges to the palm-rest and keyboard assembly.
5. Using a plastic scribe, lift the left and right hinges away from the palm-rest and keyboard assembly.
6. Lift the palm-rest and keyboard assembly at an angle to free it from the hinges and remove it from the display assembly.
   NOTE:For computers shipped with an aluminum chassis, the display assembly is a Hinge-Up Design (HUD) assembly and cannot be further disassembled once it is removed from the palm-rest and keyboard assembly. If any components in the display assembly are malfunctioning and are required to be replaced, replace the entire display assembly.

   NOTE:The power-adapter port is secured in place by the right display hinge. There is no screw, tape, or adhesives securing the power-adapter port to the palm-rest. As a result, technicians should take note of whether the power-adapter port has fallen out of the computer during subsequent removal procedures.
