LCD Back Cover Hinges for Dell inspiron 15 3510 3511 3515 3520 3525 Laptop

This was not an easy job. After removing the laptop bottom cover you need to disconnect the battery connector. Then disconnect the wire plugs that go to the screen panel next to the hinges. One of those wire plugs has a hinged plastic top that flips up to disconnect. Take pictures with your phone of where wires are routed & plugged in. After removing the LCD panel from the old lid panel you will need a picture of how the wires & Camera behind LCD panel are routed before you transfer them & the tape pieces to the new panel. I also loosened the spring tension on both hinges with a 13/64" tiny automotive ignition wrench, before I removed the screws from the hinges. These panels break at the back panel hinges because the hinges spring tension is too tight & the bottom of the back cover is designed to lift the bottom of the laptop for fan ventilation clearance. I attached two 1 inch rubber pads on the bottom of the laptop at the hinges so that it stays raised & the bottom of the lid cover doesn't make contact when I open it. I hope that loosening the hinges spring tension & adding the lifting pads to the bottom will keep this panel from breaking.

I purchased this replacement LCD back cover, front bezel, and hinge kit for my Dell Inspiron 15 3525 after the left hinge ripped out of the original lid and cracked the bezel. I was a little nervous because this was my first laptop repair, but everything fit my laptop very well. The new back cover, bezel, and hinges lined up correctly with the original screen, webcam, and other components. Once everything was transferred over, the laptop opened and closed smoothly again and looks almost like new. The parts feel solid, and replacing the hinges at the same time was definitely worth it. I would recommend taking your time during the repair, especially when disconnecting and reconnecting the LCD cable, but if you’re comfortable with basic electronics repair, this kit can save you a lot of money compared to replacing the whole laptop or paying for a repair shop. Overall, I’m very happy with the purchase and would buy it again if I needed another repair.

I was previously certified by Dell to perform this work on behalf of my employer, and now work for a Dell partner/reseller on the sales side... So my review is in that context. I do think they should provide replacement screws, along with tape strips, so those don't need to be re-used, but it worked fine. My kid had a ... Problem, lets say.... resulting in the entire plastic assembly on this Dell laptop being destroyed (front bezel broken in multiple places, hinges broken out of the top cover). Remarkably, the display panel was unharmed. My first stop was Dell, but as this computer is out of warranty, the options were limited and expensive. I did find the required parts elsewhere, but availability was such that I was ordering pieces from a couple different sources. This kit came with all the required parts, except the screws, which I re-used from the broken plastics, and seems to be functionally equivalent to the original, great quality, no problems. I will say this project is not for the faint at heart. Start by removing the bottom cover of the computer, disconnecting the display cable and antennas, and carefully un-winding those cables back to the hinges, then removing the hinges from the computer, thus detaching the entire display from the computer. If that doesn't scare you off, you have a chance of completing this job. The next step is to remove the bezel, and extract the display panel from the top cover, taking care of the cables, and specifically the camera. Then do the same with the antennas, carefully saving the tape securing the cables (you'll be re-using the same tape). Finally, remove the hinges (specifically the screws), and install in the new top cover (I actually re-used the old hinges, although the new ones look just as good). Re-install the antennas into the new top plastic, routing the cables as they were, secure the camera, and re-install the display panel. This is a bit tricky to get the order right, the display should snap in and fit firmly, flat in the cover. Now you can snap the bezel on, making sure the camera is aligned with the hole. Attach to the computer, and again this is tricky since the screws go into the bottom. Route the display and antenna cables as they were, making sure everything is secured under the original tabs, and re-connect, being careful of the display cable connector. That should be it -- re-install the bottom cover, and you're done. Again -- probably not something a beginner should take on without help, but if you've read this far, you might be OK. Its easier than a system board replacement, easier than some keyboard replacements I've done.

Perfect replacement for fixing the hinges on my wifes laptop. Followed a youtube video and about 30 minutes later fixed. I got a quote for $300 to fix it, this was way easier and cheaper. Packaging was really good and arrived on time. If the hinge broke on your laptop, buy this!

Fits as it should. Fast delivery.

This is ify. Make sure you get the right thing. My screen is not the original so ended up with something that didn't really work and couldn't put back together.

It was a perfect fit for my Dell Inspiron 15

Fit my computer as described. Will upload a picture

Bonjour , Attention , ce n'est pas un écran de rechange mais l'habillage de l'écran seulement pour un ordinateur portable DELL Inspiron 15 . Je n'ai reçu que 2 pièces + les 2 charnières et non 3 comme sur la photo .

Had to replace the hinges and a bezels on my mother in-laws laptop after a hinge stuck and damaged it all. This was a great replacement. I do wish it came with the tape to secure cables but with some careful planning and effort I was able to save the old stuff. This was a perfect fit! Would buy another if ever needed.

As cheap as the original parts! Correct price, will probably break in 3 to 9 month like the oem parts 😅

Works fine! Fits perfect on my Dell Inspiron 15 3511 series.
