Thank you so much, my laptop going on 3 years old with heavy usage. I'm replacing the battery, upgrading the ssd and cleaning it tomorrow to make sure it last another 3 years.
Do you by any chance have the issue where your battery percentage will randomly go from say, 50%, right down to around 5% after you turn your laptop on? And if so, did the battery replacement help?
@@WillisDyson I have had this while it battery was still under guarantee. It did help, but you should probably try all the other solutions first like completely depleting and fully charging your battery a few times over
thats what i did, got a new paint brush on the fans and gave them a good clean but im going to give the thermal paste a go. the secret is not to use too much :)
I re-applied the thermal paste on my XPS 15 9550, but I wasn't happy with idle CPU temperature in the 40-45C range. I think my mistake was not spreading the thermal paste using some tool to ensure even coverage of the CPU & GPU. I'll definitely have to try that. Also, I wanted to undervolt, but it looks like Dell removed that ability with recent BIOS updates. I'm not sure if it's worth it trying to downgrade the BIOS for this capability. I welcome anybody's input on this matter.
I know this is a little late, but now you can't unlock undervolting/overclocking by downgrading the BIOS since the Intel ME thing doesn't downgrade with it. If you want to undervolt, you need to modify the BIOS itself, which is super tedious but in the end it's worth it.
@@damianoparravano7022 i’m on 1.24, after flashing at first boot enter bios and hit load factory settings and then reboot. I’m using throttle stop to undervolt
When I did this I realized one of the wcrews holding a fan down had a conpnenet that wasn't even soldered on. No wonder the fan was rattling. Now I don't know what to do.
Hi, I disassimbled the same laptop to change the keyboard, then the fan on the right was always on. tried cleaning it and also I updated the BIOS but it didn't stop. Any ideas?
Battery does not need to be disconnected if power is shutdown. Never had to disconnect battery for internal cleaning. Also needs compressed air to bow inside fans to get clumps of dust out. A brush will not do that.
Always better to be safe and unplug the power, and yes compressed air is a lifesaver it will blow out the dust inside that you can't reach. But if you don't have access to it, you can always disassemble the fan itself and clean it throughly

you made this look real easy, I was always anxious to do this on my own. I'll get to it right now 🙌
What kind of thermal pads are used around the cpu? (Thickness and heat transfer rating?)
thank you so much, just followed this guide and got the job done. super helpful
How often would you recommend we should do this?
Honestly, every 2 years. The more you take care of your laptop, the longer it will last!
This video doesnt get enough attention. Thank you for this!
great vid! thanks for sharing it. Does this model of XPS have any camera only a dedicated cable connected to the motherboard?
Which is the CPU cooling fan and which is the Video cooling fan? Or are they the same fan P/N?
would i be able to just take the dust off of my fans without having to take off the heat sync as well?

Thank you for this and for showing the reassembly!

Honestly, wouldn't downgrade due to security reasons from previous version, I'd repaste.

I have a XPS 15 9750 was able to downgrade the BIOS and use Throttle Stop undervolting successfully; Trying the thermal paste/fan cleaning now
@@cin806 What version did you downgrade to? Best.

very helpful thank u
Should I do this if my laptop is brand new?
I have accidentaly disconnected fan before the battery... Now pc doesn't recognize the battery.. please advise..
Nice instruction! Thank you so much!
00:20 i am sorry what it philips 1 (2) screwdriver ??!??
I assume that this is almost indentical to my Dell XPS 15 9520? But what's the difference between 9520 and 9570?

Thank you, on point and very informative
Thanks man!!!
excellent video
Thanks
Thank you
Спасибо 👍
Thanks!
У меня DELL 7590 очень доволен. Поставил 16 ГБ оперативки и ssd 500 Samsung pro (3500 читает и 3400 пишет).
thanks alot
Could we do it with a 9550 ?
Sure, almost the same but likely 5 screws
Thaank uuuu
No need to spread thermal paste, just increases the chance of bubbles. Single line down the middle is best for rectangular, or a cross for square die.
Opened mine and the fans were rusty
You can order replacement fans on Ebay or Alibaba
Welcome to the wonderful world of Dell.
So much simpler compared to trying thermal cleaning a Thinkpad laptop lol
thanks!
