🛠️ How to open Dell G15 5530 - disassembly and upgrade options

[@yourforeignlocal]

Nice job taking it apart all the way! The cooling system looks more robust than that on the 5520

[@chiragmehta9731]

My i7 13650/4050 throttles and reach 100 in minutes of playing game. Any benchmark test leads to throttling and dell says it's normal by design.

[@hoangminhx007]

​@@chiragmehta9731meh. I don't think the cooling have problem. The thermal paste is the real problem.

[@ashwelldsouza]

@@hoangminhx007 tbh all -HX cpus run pretty hot and push max power

[@yorman-nieto]

Because the charger is so big and heavy, I don't understand why Dell does something so exaggerated, it takes away the portable aspect of the PC, I saw the laptop and its price-quality ratio and I was convinced (Core I9 13900, 32 Ram, 1TB and Nvideo RTX 8GB), but my big surprise when receiving the equipment at my house was seeing a 2 kilo block, what a charger it is.

[@amizeza]

I was surprised too How the hell am i supposed to move this piece of brick

[@daBscout111]

I just got mine knowing the laptop would be heavy, and not really caring (I have a smaller laptop when I really need to be mobile), but yeah that power adapter is heavier than most people's laptops these days

[@RyuzakiPragmatico]

@@daBscout111 its 5kg laptop +charger, a problem if you are weak or a old man.

[@todd6786]

I bought a used 330w alienware(dell) slim charger for it. less than half the size and weight of original charger. part number HA330PM201. I usually buy an extra charger for travel anyway so its a no-brainer.

[@RyuzakiPragmatico]

@@todd6786 im my case, my usage outside my house is only for "office work", i am using my old 65w charger that i have from my old laptop, and works fine, for gaming the best option is the slim charger from Alienware.

[@myninja9er]

Got an odd problem. The screw, with the laptop opening facing you, thats on the left side edge closest to you, when i try to loosen it, it gets to a point where theres extra tension to turn the screw then it pops and doesn't come out. I know these screws arent removed from the base cover completely but its as if something is blocking the screw from coming out that last bit then a pop sound and thats it. Cant remove cover..

[@WalkerKs]

i have the same issue, did you get a solution?

[@void_1024]

I have this same issue

[@rion9236]

Shame they still put the cpu/gpu on the other side of motherboard. Looks like the cooling system improved tho.

Which brand are the ssd i want to upgrade to 3tb from 1 tb And which slot is already occupied, the 30mm or 80mm

[@thelastvbuck]

Lifesaver dawg my laptop died day before a project was due 😭😭

[@iena_2003]

6:05 just under the heatpipe, central section on the right, is that a M.2 port? If yes, does that mean it can have 3 SSDs?

[@Arnie_Liv]

Nice teardown however mine has 16gb ram & is not enough for photoshop considering 64gb but is it really worth it?

[@ryanrodesch4756]

Depending on the sizes of the files you’re working with, 64GB may be a little overkill, but if you’re working with files over 1GB in size, 64 would be optimal.

[@Arnie_Liv]

@@ryanrodesch4756 some video files can be 5 to 6gb

[@alfyar1742]

I need your help; I disassembled my laptop, and when I reassembled it, the keyboard stopped working. Why?, and what i can do ?

[@ninjvumusic7938]

Check your keyboard's cable is properly connected

[@MixAlucard]

Perfect video, perfect explanation, youre god!

[@nimrod4evR]

Question, what size philips screwdriver did you use to remove the case screws?

[@drangonball_001]

Can I buy this dell G15 i5 13 gen for matlab and coding, ? Any issues or good in thermal and performance?

[@menanagy7617]

Hey there! I'm curious about the potential impact of installing 64 GB of RAM in my Dell G15 5520 laptop. Has anyone tried it, and what were the results? Did it work smoothly, or did it lead to any issues? I'm thinking of upgrading my laptop's RAM, and I'd love to hear about your experiences and recommendations. Thanks in advance for sharing your insights!

[@hemanth2209]

No. Dell g15 5520 only support upto 32gb ram.

[@King.Julien]

@@hemanth2209this is the 5530 i have 64gb

Can we install 2 nvme 2280?

[@shiv5801]

One 2280 and one 2230

[@drsatyamupadhyay]

Can you upgrade 8gb ram version to 32gb, Amazon mentions it can be only upgraded to 16gigs

[@ryanrodesch4756]

Yes, you can upgrade to dual-channel 32GB RAM. I suggest you get two Corsair Vengeance SODIMM DDR5 16GB sticks.

[@drsatyamupadhyay]

@@ryanrodesch4756 thank you good sir

[@NaimSalman]

I bought crucial 64gb (32gb x2) dr5 4800mhz ct2k32g48c40s5. It works. But It was a pain. I installed the new rams laptop didn't turn on only keyboard lights came on. So I thought laptop doesn't work with 64gb ram. Apparently you had to wait around 2 minutes so bios can recognize the new rams. Then laptop restarted couple times after that it worked as it is supposed to be.

[@kennedyworn5276]

​@NaimSalman You can upgrade as much ram as you want but the system will only use the maximum the laptop can use. In this laptop, it is usually 32gb.

[@TheSagitis]

Just wondering any idea that we can improve the thermal further more. With price coming down from refurbish and oculink compatibly this machine is good for overclovking using hx cpu.

[@AlirimBiDal]

2 things can be done for better thermals. 1- Using a better thermal paste (or liquid metal but risky for average consumer) 2- Undervolting (undervolting will decrease performance very slightly but on thermal side make an huge impact and also make the pc more stable)

[@yuklusozler9804]

hello my laptop dell g15 5530 captive screw is stripped where can ı find this screw and Does anyone know the dimensions of the screw?

[@princeowiredu5579]

So my laptop( this same one) has my Bluetooth showing as if it has none. Was wondering if you could show that so I know if there’s an any problem with it once I open it.

[@Drew-cz7hw]

Generally Bluetooth is integrated into the WiFi card. It's the card he removes after the two M.2 Storage heatsinks. He removes the card at 3:21 on the timestamp. It'll say intel on it most likely and has two small wires on it one black, one white. Be very delicate with these as the connector heads pop off if you pull on them wrong. Before doing that I would try rolling back drivers with ones from dells website to make sure its not a driver issue.

How can we install a new ssd into M2?

[@mohamedkheder2880]

up

[@umittamersezgin]

@@mohamedkheder2880 I installed my second newbought 2tb ssd (western digital brand) into the second tall part under the short included 512gb ssd. Also, I changed the 8×2 gb ram with 16×2 gb ram (crucial brand). At the end, unplugged the battery cable jack from its socket and plugged into it again to make the laptop recognize these new pieces on its own. Then I pushed the start button after a while laptop opened successfully!

[@franciscojavierguerrero1082]

En donde se encuentra la batería del bios ? O no cuenta con una?

[@jorge9106]

Ahora en las laptops, la bateria del bios es la bateria principal de la laptop.

[@BrunoSBraga-th5po]

My doubt is can you buy this laptop with less ssd and chance the original one with a bigger?

[@RyuzakiPragmatico]

yes, or you can add a new SSD (that was a M2 slot not populated.

[@danielguerra2198]

really good video!

[@danielguerra2198]

I heard comments about not every brand of RAM and SSD working properly with the G15 5520, even though every specficiation indicated that with should work. Like a RAM 8Gb DDR5 soDIMM 4800 mHz of brand X not working. Have you heard about it? Does it happen with G15 5530 as well? I am reluctant to buy upgrades because of it.

[@NaimSalman]

I just bought this laptop. I will upgrade my RAM to 32GB.

@@NaimSalman Thanks for the feedback. Sorry, I didn't see your response earlier.

Currently using 2x16Gb 4800Mhz from Crucial and aiming to upgrade my current 256Gb SSD.
