This video was EXTREMELY HELPFUL! I couldn't have done this without this video. My specific 7520 was a bit different. I couldn't remove the fan easily so left it attached to the motherboard. There is a screwed in module where the power cord plugs in and I had to remove that. There is an additional cable for the keyboard possibly for the back lighting of the keyboard. Thanks so much for the informative video.
Very helpful video! Thank you. I just found one of these laptops in the trash. It looks like it's in good condition, but it doesn't boot. The beeps indicate that it needs a new CMOS battery. Not only did your video show me how to get to it, the image was clear enough for me to verify that it's a CR2032 battery, a piece of information that none of the Google search results mention. I know most computers use that one, but I wanted to be sure before I took it all apart. While I'm at it, I'll clean the fan (which is no doubt full of dust), and maybe clean the CPU and heatsink as well.
Excelente tutorial en todos aspectos. Sin la intención de faltarle al respeto solo faltó la instrucción de conectar el cable de corriente a la tarjeta madre. Gracias. Excellent tutorial in all aspects. Without the intention of being disrespectful, the only thing missing was the instruction to connect the power cable to the motherboard. Thanks.
I had to replace an SSD in a 5520 and I decided to take it apart, because the fan was constantly spinning at max speed. I put fresh heatpaste on the CPU and GPU and it is good as new. Mine has an AMD GPU also, so the heatpipe has 7 (numbered) screws instead of 4, but no big difference. This video helped a lot!
This video was EXTREMELY helpful for me in cleaning out the dust & removing the heatsink; only thing it didn't show was how you would recommend applying the new paste &...one screw you didn't mention that needed to Also be unscrewed (in order to remove the motherboard) was the screw that connects the power cord connector To the motherboard, 😅 Other than those 2 details, I was able to do what needed to get done & my laptop's not overheating as much anymore. Thank you for the video~
Banging on it could have caused a loose connection between the HDD and the motherboard. Try reseating the HDD. If that doesn't work, you may have damaged the HDD and probably need to replace it.
Awesome video, very thorough. I do have a question though, I have this same laptop (7520) and the LCD screen is completely black. External monitor doesn't work either. I have done all the typical troubleshooting, all to no avail. I am beginning to think the GPU itself has gone, as the computer posts normally, no beeps, I've reseated the RAM, tested the backlight on the LCD, etc. and since the external isn't working I'm thinking that it must be the GPU. The VGA, HDMI, and LCD are not working. They show that the cable connects (on the monitor it doesn't show "cable not connected") but just a black screen. Can't get the Dell diagnostic LCD test to show up or anything. Do you think it could be the GPU? Would a failed gpu cause a black screen? Everything else powers on perfectly, the heatsink, the dvd-drive, the lights, etc. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
I would check to make sure the LCD cable isn't loose on the back of the screen first. Sometimes they become loose and cause the same problems (no screen, no external, no beep code). If it's not the cable then it's probably GPU relate and you will have to replace the motherboard.
If you notice when he is taking panels off, removing screws, the Optical drive is installed, then it isn't, then it's back in again before the actual removal step! Can the back or bottom cover be removed to inspect the underside of the m/b? Thanks, also, can the CPU be upgraded? Thanks
Is it at all possible to replace the mobo from the the SE into the regular 15r. If so would you be able to put a video card into it? Also if you can what exactly would you have to replace.
Hey guys! Really awesome video. Thanks a lot! I wanna make a question: Where really is located the dell inspiron 15r msata? I did all those steps and coudn't locate it. I really appreciate if you could help me on that. Thanks!
It's only on the 7520 version of this laptop and it's located on the opposite side of the WLAN card/USB circuit board. this will show how to remove it. blog.parts-people.com/2013/05/23/dell-inspiron-15r-5520-7520-usb-circuit-board-removal-and-installation/
Thanks!! It worked but after I changed the motherboard my screen is not working and I have to use an external monitor. Are there different types of motherboards for the same laptop model?? Could it be that the LCD connector is not compatilbe with this new motherboard??
andrew pazos There are different cables but that connection to the motherboard will be the same on all of them. It is more likely a loose cable connection or the cable isn't fully seated. Try going back through the laptop and reseating all of the cables. That might fix the problem.
I am having a very hard time undoing the optical drive screw. It just won't budge. I have got mum to try but she can't do it either. Any one got a good way to safely remove screws and lap tops?

How remove and replacement mSata drive this model?
I did the same thing but now my laptop won't charge and it won't turn on. When I press the power button it lights up for 2 seconds and then turns off. I tried checking all the connections but all of it seems ok. Please please please tell me what to do.
I have a question, my laptop battery died when i was doing a project and i slamed my fingers on the keyboard. When it came back on it told me i had to reinstall the OS but now it says it cant detect my harddrive so could a loose cable cuase this and which one connects the motherboard to the hard drive?
Hi thank you for a great educational video. i have a 15r 7520 SE with mSATA SSD, and i want to upgrade that leaving my conventional HDD. i understand that SSD on the daughterboard to the top right side of the laptop base. is there any chance you could make a little video about that? thank you once again
If I remember correctly the model I had did not have an mSATA SSD slot. Unfortunately I do not have a video for the SSD. Also unfortunately, I no longer have that laptop. But, good news, I do have a video showing how to replace the USB daughter board that the mSATA would be located on. After it is removed the SSD would be held in place with one screw. I'm sure you will be able to figure it out after the daughter board is removed. Here is the video and written instructions. blog.parts-people.com/2013/05/23/dell-inspiron-15r-5520-7520-usb-circuit-board-removal-and-installation/
hey my laptop is dead it stoped working somedays ago when i was using it it automatically turned off when i plug the charging adapter the light green light turns off as soon as i plug it in and the laptop doesnt turn onn it does not show any sign of turning onn i talked to the service department the told to take off the battery and plug the power cord and try to turn it onn but it didnt they said it might be problem in the power supply plug or the motherboard has been damaged.. sir please help what could be the problem...
Where is the msata? I had an issue with mine and would like to replace it. I know that its on the daughter-board but not sure what the easiest way to get to it.
The mSATA is on the bottom side if the USB circuit board. I don't think there is access to it on the bottom of the laptop, so the only way to gain access is by removing the motherboard and removing the daughter board. This video will show how to remove the daughter board. th-cam.com/video/nzNDDi69P3Q/w-d-xo.html
I bought this same notebook but when i plug the charger it doesn't appear anything! I think the mobo is dead, if i buy another one do i need to replace the VGA too? From the old mobo to the new one? Do u hav a video teaching that? Ppl said this notebook that u used on that videos doesn't hav a offboard GPU!
Hey man, firstly, thanks for the video! Could you tell me if the fan performance in this model can be changed? I've already replaced the thermal compound (it's been awhile) but it kept overheating the same way or even worst, so I thought it may be a cooler problem... Thanks!
Unfortunately, they just have a tendency to overheat. You could try using a laptop cooling pad, but there cooling ability will be marginal. Overheating will happen more often if you use the laptop for Auto-Cad or gaming. The on-board GPUs don't handle Auto-Cad and gaming very well.
This laptop has the GPU built onto the motherboard. The video shows the model with Intel graphics, there is another model that uses AMD-Radeon. Both of the models use different style heatsinks and the heatsinks are shared by the CPUs & GPUs.
so i claned up my 15R 5520 and suddendly 1 ram slot doesnt work, tried using 1 ram a the time and it runed on, the 2 ram modules are ok, but only one slot work, the question is how can i fix the ram slor, or replace it in case is dead?
hi, my motherboard (7520) died and i need to replace it, does the (5520) motherboard fit and works the same? is there any difference? im in a hurry please! many thanks
They are mostly the same. The graphics on the 7520 is better (ATI Radeon 7730M vs Radeon HD 7670M). The 7520 has the ability to have an mSATA SSD. I think that's it.
This model does not have a dedicated graphics card. The 5520 either has integrated Intel graphics (via CPU) or discrete AMD graphics (via AMD Radeon HD 7670M) built onto the motherboard. The 7520 only has discrete AMD graphics (via AMD Radeon HD 7730M) but, neither have a removable graphics card.
The GPU is built onto the motherboard and cannot be replaced. You would have to buy the 5520 motherboard that has the 7730m GPU to replace your original board.
Parts-People.Com, Inc new question I've preped laptop and have removed heatsink etc. However whilst I wait for my cleaner to arrive should I reinstall it as these pads. May get dry? Or dusty?
Can you help me? So I cleaned out my fan and afterwards my laptop won't turn on. The battery light glows white when I put in my charger. Tried turning it on with and without battery. Would you have some kind of understanding of what I missed or did?
+Miffy Kee It is most likely a cable that is loose or not seated all the way. You will need to go back through the process and check all the cable connections, in particularly the power button cable, DC jack cable, and the LCD cable.
+Parts-People.Com, Inc Yes, thank you so much for the quick and informative response! My power button cable was loose and I had no idea that it was. My laptop is turning on just fine now. You've saved me a lot of stress! :)
+Parts-People.Com, Inc Hi it's me again. ^^; I tried cleaning my laptop again with a can of compressed air. Now when I try to turn it on, the screen won't start up and it beeps 4 times in succession... did that mean I messed up my laptop? :(
Can someone help me out cause i have this laptop but i added in extra features to make it like a gaming laptop. The problem is that none of the USB ports work so i asked dell for help and they said i need a new motherboard the price to put a new motherboard with dell is £370. Now idk what to do should i buy a new motherboard the same as the old one or should i replace the USB ports, bare in mind its USB 3.0 or should i give it to dell?
hii , my laptop stopped working it is not turning on , I can see blank screen & my laptop makes 7 beeps when I turn it on . its means processor failure . right ? what should I do ?? does I have to replace the motherboard of my laptop.?? and did I have to buy a motherboard & Intel processors ?? or can I just buy a motherboard & swap the CPU & GPU from old motherboard ?? & did reflowing GPU will work ?? please help me
akshay patil hey the motherboard probably is dead so you should go and check in amazon a new motherboard and see this video or maybe its something else you should see a professional about your problem!
Here is list of compatible CPUs. Using this guide, I just replaced my 13-2370M with an 15-3360M. About 60% faster. Running 8 GB ram but can run 16 and maybe even 32 (not confirmed). I looked at the i7s and they are only marginally faster than the i5 and the i5 is half the price. This video is the definitive guide for the 5520. i3 2370M i3 3110M i5 2450M i5 3210M i5 3320M i5 3360M i7 3520M i7 3612QM
hey man, i have this dell inspiron 17R 7720 SE. i have a weird issue, I know this laptop has a hybrid nvidia intel GPU for some reason my nvidia GPU is never detected, it only runs on intel graphics, I have tried installing even linux system on my PC to see if that could fix the issue, but the problem is still as it is. ANY HELP FROM YOUR SIDE WOULD BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED. if you can help me solve this issue, and make my GPU work. thanks.
This is a great video and i appreciate it, but whatever idiot at Dell designed this laptop case deserves a special place in hell. In my case WIndows 10 bricked a laptop and i need to reset the CMOS i literally have to take the whole machine apart to get to the CMOS battery?
Yes, unfortunately the CMOS is on the bottom side of the motherboard. Also, I don't know that removing the CMOS battery will fix your problem. I've heard of Windows 10 bricking because of BIO problems but replacing the motherboard was the only fix.
There's a pretty long thread on Dell's website regarding it. I've got time this weekend to mess with it, then i'm probably just going to put Ubuntu or CentOS on it and not have to worry about it happening a second time.

so easy and simple steps thanks alot I ll try to change the thermal paste cuz my dell is so hot and the fan os loud I hope that will solve the problem
Sajjad Yassien did it work?
yes it works great trust me replacing the thermal paste and clean the fan solve the issue just be careful when u follow these steps but it works 100%
Very useful tutorial. I will replace my motherboard soon.

Hello, can you tell me what type of screws are the ones that hold the motherboard and those that hold the heat sink to the CPU and GPU?
So... The CPU is replaceable but not GPU?
Also,do you know up to what cpu does this motherboard support?
wonder if u can install a tpm 1.2 or tpm 2.0 chip on inspirion 5520/7520
If I get a new motherboard, this time with AMD graphics, this is going ot be a big help.
Keep in mind that if you are replacing a Intel motherboard with an AMD you will have to change the Heatsink and fan also.
Parts-People.Com, Inc Thanks for the info. I had it covered already though.
No you cannot. The GPU is built onto the motherboard on this laptop and cannot be changed.
So...if I use the exact same motherboard and video card...no need to mess with the heatsink?
7520 with AMD has a different heat sink and fan.. I am having problem while opening the screw of the fan...
can the amd radeon hd 7600m series dedicated card be upgraded
this helped alot, thank you
very nice
Helped a lot!!!
with the 7520 is it possible to replace the 3rd gen cpu with the a 4th gen cpu?, or are the sockets different between the two?
Good Job, men

Thanks for the video. What is the normal temperature for this laptop, mine is running at 55'C should I replace thermal paste?
I'm not sure of the temperature range. Try cleaning the fan first. That will probably drop the temperature.
I have a question, my laptop battery died when i was doing a project and i slamed my fingers on the keyboard. When it came back on it told me i had to reinstall the OS but now it says it cant detect my harddrive so could a loose cable cuase this and which one connects the motherboard to the hard drive?

can I use the cpu and rams in a tower pc instead?
No, they're a different type and size.
thanks :)
Is the cpu upgradable? Its like a Desktop cpu
+Justin Lee Yes, it is. But, unfortunately I don't have a list of compatible CPUs. I know it can use i3s, i5s, and i7s but I'm not sure which ones.
Here is list of compatible CPUs. Using this guide, I just replaced my 13-2370M with an 15-3360M. About 60% faster. Running 8 GB ram but can run 16 and maybe even 32 (not confirmed). I looked at the i7s and they are only marginally faster than the i5 and the i5 is half the price. This video is the definitive guide for the 5520.
i3 2370M
i3 3110M
i5 2450M
i5 3210M
i5 3320M
i5 3360M
i7 3520M
i7 3612QM
hey man, i have this dell inspiron 17R 7720 SE. i have a weird issue, I know this laptop has a hybrid nvidia intel GPU for some reason my nvidia GPU is never detected,
it only runs on intel graphics, I have tried installing even linux system on my PC to see if that could fix the issue, but the problem is still as it is.
ANY HELP FROM YOUR SIDE WOULD BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED. if you can help me solve this issue, and make my GPU work. thanks.

The graphics is built onto the motherboard. The motherboards cost around $250
thanks nice I like this helped me yay! \o\

Sorry I meant to write on laptops in my comment below but instead I wrote and. Sorry.
* says to remove the ram and hard drive
* shows how
* says to remove more screws
* still has the ram and hard drive in while removing them
This is a great video and i appreciate it, but whatever idiot at Dell designed this laptop case deserves a special place in hell. In my case WIndows 10 bricked a laptop and i need to reset the CMOS i literally have to take the whole machine apart to get to the CMOS battery?
Yes, unfortunately the CMOS is on the bottom side of the motherboard. Also, I don't know that removing the CMOS battery will fix your problem. I've heard of Windows 10 bricking because of BIO problems but replacing the motherboard was the only fix.
There's a pretty long thread on Dell's website regarding it. I've got time this weekend to mess with it, then i'm probably just going to put Ubuntu or CentOS on it and not have to worry about it happening a second time.
how can i replace the CMOS battery coz i got 5 beebs mean i have to replace the CMOS battery ???
You can see the CMOS battery at 4:53 on the bottom left corner of the motherboard.
thank u so much i found it
Take out the hard drive or you cnat take the mother board out

I agree. It sounds like a bad DC jack or motherboard. One or both will have to be replaced.
