DELL XPS 13 7390 2 in 1 2-in-1 2n1 Disassembly Logicboard Motherboard Removal *Nothing Upgradeable!*

[@johnwalshaw]

This is exactly the same procedure for the newer 9310 2-in-1. Thank you for posting this as appears this is the only video and nobody has posted on the 9310 2-in-1 yet.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Awesome, glad it helped! I'm sure I have plenty more like it.

[@memphisweyant5201]

I have to say thank you for this disassembly guide, I had honestly no clue how to lift up the fan assembly and get to the cpu for repasting!!

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Glad it helped

[@AceBurn90]

Thanks a lot. I took my device apart and thought I would order the fan unit to replace it. Unfortunately, I left the device open for a few months and forgot where all the screws belong. Thanks to your video, I can now finally put everything back together.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Awesome, glad it helped.

[@mattyc19789]

Thanks, this helped me a ton in replacing the fans in my own 2-in-1. Last time I buy a Dell, but Ill keep fixing it until I cant anymore.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Awesome, glad it helped.

[@raffinistere]

Great video, thanks! Wanted to change my SSD. Saw a tutorial on XPS 7390 and it was soooo simple. Open the computer, change the SSD! So I opened the computer... and search for the SSD without success :D On 7390 2 in 1, I thought it would be the same... Not at all!! Thanks to you, I know I just have to buy a new laptop!

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Yeah...I hate when they make this crap.

Thank you so much. Super helpful. Hey board ribbon was sticky and had to take the nutters out. Then lift center adhesive part. The. Black tab. It cameout. Perfect

[@scoobtoober2975]

Dell with the extended warranty just send a whole new mobo for bad fans. Lol. Expensive fix

[@je_tai6276]

Whoa thank you so much for guide! This laptop is so complicated to disassemble, thank you for your very accurate guide!! I'm having issues with the GPU fan and I should replace it. I can't really use the 1Y warranty provided by Dell because this laptop was bought in Canada and not in France where I'm living... Dell consumer services are so bad, it's impossible to talk to someone skillful by phone, at least in France.

Dude I got the exactly same problem! Same feeling on Dell services. Damn it's so moving to see someone in the same situation. Do you prepare to replace the fan manually?

[@je_tai6276]

@@ItsBinhRepaired Thank you! Didn't wanted to take the risk to open the fan to put lubricant inside, the blades are sooo fragile. I've just sent air on it until it spins correctly. It's not the cleanest way to do it for sure but it works! I have repasted it, Dell put such shitty thermal paste... I couldn't have done it without your video, thank you!

[@je_tai6276]

@@yuzhousong3494 I decided to do it by myself. The only tricky part for me was to remove the black box on the mother board, otherwise it's quite easy! I didn't replace the fan, I try to blow some air on it until it spins correctly, it seems to work! If you want to change your fan you will have to open everything and even repaste it!

[@CyberAbyss007]

Yep, integrated board. Boo! Mine just died and two weeks out of warranty. Thank you for the video!

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Did you buy it with a credit card?

[@realredfox]

Can the fans be bought seperately? One of them started rattling (again) and last time Dell replaced the whole mainboard unit under warranty to fix a rattling fan. Now that I'm out of warranty I want to replace them myself, but I have a hard time to find the replacement parts. For my XPS15 9550 and XPS13 9370 it wasn't a problem. BR

Is this the case for the fans. to tear the whole board off to get to them It looks like it. Thanks for posting this. ifixit has the part number wrong for the model number. for the teardown pictures

Just did the fans. Had 3 screws per side of each fan. 6 screws per fan. Then cable. Then it slid out.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Awesome

[@foldinggreenstuff]

Just to add that you should NEVER use a METAL pry tool on this machine as this will in every case damage the casing - you should use a plastic pry tool which is designed to damage itself before any damage is done to the device you are dismantling.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

You should WATCH my thousands of videos. I usually use my fingernails to pry computers open. The casing wasn't damaged, so your "in every case" comment was wrong in every case.

[@ShorrockPaul]

@@ItsBinhRepaired nevertheless is not good practice to use metal pry tools on laptops. you have a lot of experience, for those who dont, use plastic tools , less chance of damage or even shorting something out. Great video though, helped me alot . these laptops are not easy to work on.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

@@ShorrockPaul this is similar to saying new chefs should use plastic knives so they don't cut themselves or damage the cutting boards. Learn to follow instructions carefully and you'll be fine.

[@ShorrockPaul]

@@ItsBinhRepaired ok if you refuse to accept that it is safer to use plastic tools on delicate equipment , we shall leave it at that. but i still really appreciate your videos. thank you

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

@@ShorrockPaul If you can open it with plastic, then you can use it

I just replaced my battery recently and it seems the cmos isn’t functioning. Can’t turn the laptop on without plugging in the charger, and I always get an error of time and day not being set. Could this be of another cause

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Try another battery. Check the battery connection.

[@curlfox]

Hi, I tried to clean the fans (because they are running crazy all of a sudden) and used your Video to get to them. I cleaned them and put everything back in place. Then I turned it on, the fans still loud as a windy storm, and turned it off again. After this I can't turn my laptop on anymore. 😅 Do you have any ideas how to rescue my laptop? Thank you in advance 🙏🏼

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Hmmm double check everything and plug it back in. Give it a few minutes after pressing the power button.

[@curlfox]

I did like you said and the fans are working again. Unfortunately the touchpad decided not to function anymore 😂 Plus, the laptop started working again but when I put back the cover on it, it didn't turn on by pressing the power button. Do you know what I could do, or which cable is in the way maybe? Thanks in advance 🙏

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

@curlfox not sure. Double check the keyboard and touchpad cables.

[@davidmorrison4711]

im trying to see someone replace the touchpad without replacing the whole palm rest, looks like dell replaces the whole palm rest assembly with touch pad already attached as per there service manual, as it might damage it easy im guessing,

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

I see screws for removing it.

[@alirezanadali6524]

Hey mate! excellent video! I have a question, is it possible to replace the hinges without replacing the entire screen? it is really easy to remove the screen from the base but Idk how to remove the hinges from screen.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

I would assume so, but not sure about separating the screen layers

Hey Binh, thank you for this video, have you had any issues with this laptop's keyboard stopping to work randomly and then when you flip the screen it starts to work again? I had dell replace the keyboard and rails and this would still happen until recently the keyboard died completely, any suggestions?

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Keyboard is disabled when the screen is flipped into tablet mode

[@RW1.]

By any chance the 2 screw holes for the torx screws (T5) closes the to the hinge replaceable? The 2 screws holding the bottom plate has come loose and stripped from just opening and closing the screen. Are they part of the palm rest assemble or a separate plate.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Stripped? Not sure what you mean. Stripped and loose are two separate things. Do you mean the plastic underneath is broken?

[@RW1.]

​@@ItsBinhRepaired Sorry what I meant was the torx screw to remove the bottom base case cover. The threads in the screw hole stripped. 5:08 (the 2 black philips screws) is that attached to the palm rest assembly?

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

@@RW1. the time stamp you provided is for a fingerprint sensor controller. There's only adhesive, no screws. I'm confused.

[@RW1.]

​@@ItsBinhRepaired oh ok thank you and to clarify the confusion the 8 screw removed from the start of the video. The t5 screw near the hinge of the screen no longer screws in.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

@@RW1. it just holds the metal plate in place I think. Shouldn't be an issue.
