Dell XPS 15 9550 Wireless Card Replacement

Step 1 Back/Underside Panel

• Turn the laptop upside down.
• Make sure the laptop is turned off.
• Use a T5 Torx Screwdriver to remove the ten 3 mm long screws from the perimeter of the back of the laptop.
Step 2



• Open up the information panel door (on the middle of the back side).
• While holding the door open, use a Phillips #00 Screwdriver to remove the two 10 mm long screws.
Step 3
• Carefully lift the 2 corners of the back panel close to the hinge upwards, to release the whole panel.
• Do not force the panel off. If it does not come off easily, try to use a plastic spudger where it is stuck.
Step 4 Wireless Card
• With a Philips #00 Screwdriver bit, remove one 4 mm long black screw located by the antenna connections on the wireless card.
• Set the screw and metal holder aside.
Step 5
• Gently lift up each of the antennas (3) to disconnect them from the wireless card.
• These are similar to a coat button, the antennas snap on and snap off.
Step 6
• With the antennas disconnected, gently pull the wireless card out at the angle it sits at.
• The wireless card has been successfully removed!
