Teardown

Introduction

This guide is for anyone with a dell d500.

This teardown is not a repair guide. To repair your Dell Latitude D500, use our service manual.

  1. Dell Latitude D500 Teardown, Remove the screws from the bottom: step 1, image 1 of 1

    • Start by taking out the screws on the bottom. Mine already has them mostly removed, but yours most likely won’t.

    • Next, you are going to remove the panel with the power button. For this, I recommend a flathead screwdriver. After that cover is off, remove all of the screws. Once the screws are gone, pull the keyboard out. There is a ribbon cable connecting it to the board, but it has an easy to remove pull bar on it.

    • To remove the screen, just pull the connector out of the board. There is a screw holding it in place, but it is easy to remove. The screw is shown in the photo.

    • To remove the upper casing, you will need to remove the connector for the trackpad. It is shown in photo two being removed. Be careful, the casing is slightly fragile. Mine has yet to break, but it could.

    • This step is a break from removing screws. All of the parts have a button to remove them.
