Great video! This worked perfectly for me to upgrade my ram. I didn't disconnect the keyboard ribbon - just flipped up the keyboard to pull the screws. Thank you so much for making this easy for me! 👍

When you take screws out of a laptop, do not pile them up in one place. Use a magnetic mat or a piece of paper and clearly mark where the screws are taken from, this way it makes the job much easier when you put them back. You noticed not all the screws are the same size or length. Putting the screws back to the wrong place can tare into ribbon cable or damage the keyboard or motherboard if you are not careful.

The fact that you just went straight to the point without excess talking really made me subscribe 💣👍

Excellent video. Thank you. I have to say - HORRIBLE design by Dell to force people to basically take apart their laptop just to upgrade memory. Just bad.

I just ordered some ram for my Inspiron 15, I am sure glad you posted this, I would never have figured this out on my own. Much more complicated than my older Inspiron! Thanks so much!

Great video, I watched and followed it step-by-step, everything was exactly the same. I would never been able to figure it out without this video. Thanks so much for posting it...

This is EXACTLY what I needed!!!

This was really helpful. Thanks so much. I got the RAM before realising I would have to dismantle the whole laptop just about.

Thanks a lot Miss wanissa .You save mine 200 bucks worth for installing ram in the shop .You made my day thanks a lot and upload other laptop related educational videos

This video helped me get an old laptop computer apart so I could upgrade it with an old SSD drive. Then I went ahead and upgraded the RAM too. Now I get a little bit more life out of them. Thanks for the video.

This is a great video. It would be great to turn the music off and allow us to hear what you are doing, even if you don't talk. For example, hearing the keyboard click while you are using the guitar pick would be nice so we make sure to follow the same method. Thanks so much for such a thorough and easy to follow video.

What a crappy design where u have to dissemble the the whole system to just upgrade the RAM.... Anyways thanks for the info.😘

Thank you! You made it look very easy. It didn't seem this way when they opened my mom's Dell Inspiron 15

Parabéns... Esse tipo de video sem bla-bla-bla e objetivo é a melhor coisa q tem.

I actually did this by my self (I am a 12 year old) since my mom didn’t wanted to use the left off RAM and put it on by professionals, I had to do it by my self and i noticed that your dvd plug is not there when you remove it, and to be honest it was not too easy to open without knowing to do this kind of stuff to upgrade the ram, Thank you!

I just made a RAM upgrade. Thanks for this video it was very simple.

For anyone stuck on the optical drive: Unplug the odd cable from the motherboard, snap the connection into the bottom case right where "odd con" is printed. Snap the case together and slide in the drive.

Thank you ,I just repaired my wife's PC with this video as my guide .

There is no need to disassemble the keyboard! You only have to do that if you're gonna take the MB apart, like when replacing the internal 2.5 drive...

I successfully cleaned my exhaust fan. Thanks a lot Wannisa!

Great video. Sense, there are something consider on removing laptop. We must try to remove the DVD drive first. *DVD Drive is available but no more option to remove the drive consider the case is tough and get user manual* 1.58min: There is a big circle surrounded 5 small circle > Upper part hole of DVD drive blog>Use a wooden ice cream stick to push the keyboard up> Now right side of key board is slightly up and easy to hold with hand when keyboard holder pin is open..

There are so many BAD videos of how to do this. This is a GOOD one..the only one to watch to see how to upgrade RAM on the Dell Inspiron 3558. Thank you!

2021 and still very helpful this video. Thank you!

My dell inpiron 15 3543, had straight forward window of a quarter of back plastic attached with 1 screw, it was a 1 minute job to upgrade SSD and ram is also easily accessible.

Thanks for the video! I needed to harvest some ram and this helped!

They say that in the olden days, the RAM and hard drive used to be in compartments in the bottom, so you didn't have to tear the whole machine apart to make an upgrade.

Nice video - thank you for posting it. However, for the life of me, I don't understand why manufacturers don't use the old school flap with one screw to change memory and the hard drive. Taking various laptops apart can really drive you crazy and wreck your nerves. Often, the case doesn't come apart very easily and you end up using a spudging tool (or a guitar pick) and hoping you don't snap something. There has to be an easier way that doesn't increase cost and facilitates typical upgrades. Ben Price - San Antonio

How cool is your new Laptop !! I think you can run some cool games there !! Congratulations on the acquisition, my friend!

Thanks for this video. Great help this one. By the way, after installing the additional ram, are there any other processes i have to do, or the new ram will work upon turning the laptop on?

The disk drive ribbon wire was already disconnected in the video. I about ripped mine off pulling the back panel off. But thank you for the video very helpful.

Excellent video, you saved me 200 Mexican pesos that charged me for the installation. Thank you

Thanks a lot. I'm new in hardware work experience regarding laptop issue. After follow your instruction I'm success. Thanks again.

thank for the video maine abhi abhi apna laptop open kiya tha hdd ki problem dikha rha tha maine saf krke fir se lga di or laptop start ho gya thank u sir

First, this is an excellent video! With that in mind. here is a caveat for those who are doing this themselves. It took me about 45 minutes (she does it in eight!). My major problem was the keyboard. It didn't just pop right out. but instead took some serious wrangling, and I bent it in the process. It was quite frustrating. Then when it's time to reconnect the keyboard ribbon, there is a clip you need to make sure is clipped down that secures the ribbon. I didn't see it and my keyboard wouldn't work. Once I figured it out it was smooth sailing. With those problems in mind, this isn't a hard job, just a little nerve wracking if you're a novice like me.

Just got my dell certifications, this is FCKIN tedious. Thanks for the video.

Just an amazing video! Nicely done - thank you!!!!

This laptop and my laptop are the same 15 3000 Series. I am watching is video from Bangladesh. Thanks, brother for this video. I also update ram and SSD in 2024

Great video. Thank you for sharing. This was very helpful!

Great Video, I try to open my Laptop 3567 but stuck due to hidden bolt under keyboard, Appreciate for this video so I know how to open Now.

you're an absolute badass, thank you so much for this

Спасибо за видео,все чётко и понятно.

Thanks. I tried doing it on my own and kind of messed it. Your video helped

Thanks for your help i can't do this without your help

Thank you very much for this video. Much appreciated!

This is a good video. Thanks for posting it!

2:38 So if you want remove the dvd without break it, on the batery near the screw you already removed, push with a small screwdriver.

thanks , i needed a video like this :D

Thank you. Mine is a 3552 (3000 series?) and your instructions were ight on except that you computer shows 2x4 RAM and mine has only one RAM slot. I bought 4gb RAM based on your video and when I disassembled my laptop, saw this and had to return the RAM and buy a single 8gb card. But it worked- so far... :)

Amiga gracias por tu video excelente y espero que nos coloques más videos

Thank you for making this informative video, it is very helpful. Can you suggest which RAM brands and models will be suitable for upgrading the RAM for the Inspiron 15 3000 series? Thanks again.

Thanks for creating this video!

Excellent video. Thanks a lot. Would not know how to sproceed step by step. Muchas gracias from Argentina 🇦🇷

Thanks really you helped me a lot u got a new sub ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Very helpful video ! I would have never updated it if I hadn't found this, poor design by dell to make it so complex.

Your videos always super bro 👍👍

Thank you very much for this video. It saved my day. Cheers!

Whatever you do, take out the two screws from the bottom case (one at each Hinge) LAST, just before opening the case. And put them back in First when closing.

You're very good.Nice work!

need to add that you have to release the ODD latch (RV) and push ODD out on some models

dell is superb quality... been using for rugged 3 years dell i3451 ans still alive and well

if i want to remove only my cd drive, will removing the 2/3 screws on the backside be enough? or the ones below keyboard too have to be removed

This Dell is like my old GMC Acadia... 20 steps to do something simple. What happened to one screw to open a panel to upgrade the memory? 😁 Anyway, thank you for this vid. Perfectly demonstrated. Very much appreciated.

Thanks for the tutorial!

Thanks...My lappy is exactly same to yours...

I just added 8gb of ram to my laptop and this video really helped! Yes Dell has horrible laptop designs unlikely some brands that just need you to take off one cover and insert.

Thank you for the video. Please be careful while removing the backcover, the portion near the hinges gets stuck!

Thank you for this, I needed to add to my laptop same as yours. But may I ask, what's the spec of the RAM you as added to your Dell inspiron 15 3000? I wanted to use it as well for gaming. What would you recommend? Thanks again!

Muy buen video. Saludos desde Argentina.

🎉என் விடியோஸ் வைரல் ஆகா ஆரமிச்சிட்டு நன்றி தலைவா😎 🙏🙏🙏🙏 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉

Thank you so much, you helped me a lot

Thank-you so much that really help me out highly appreciated

You saved 3 grand for me ...thanks a lot ❤️

Thanks a lot! Very helpful

will i get a speed boost if i upgrade it to sdd and additional ram ?

Thanks for the video. I was able to successfully add the RAM. But somehow my DVD drive does not fit back in. I tried to push it hard, still no luck. But in the video it just slides in smoothly. Am I missing something while pushing the dvd back in place?

Hi wannisa. Thanks for the upload. ❤️ Can you please tell me from where did you got this screw driver that's suitable for all of the screws as I know that the one i.e. in the middle is very small and inside as compared to the rest. P.S. If you bought it online, then please do share the item link. As i can't find a single screw driver able to remove all the screws. Thanks again.

Can you tell me the type of screwdriver you used, please?

I own a dell laptop. the design is terrible. it looks like an ugly ps3. great quality video.you deserve 10000 subs.

so helpy bro I tried 100 times you help me thank you

Thanks it really came in handy

Would you please tell us the slots provided for installing additional ram to this laptop ?

Thank you so much for the video I used it to install an ssd into my fiance laptop to prevent her from spending $700 on a new one.

Qual é o barramento dessa memória ?? Quero aumentar do meu , mas não sei qual usar

You are amazing, Thanks a lot!

No need for static protection to keep from shocking motherboard?

what is the uses of installing new ram

Amazing Video .... Thanks it works ... we were so tired but your video made it easy .... worst design ..... 😁😁😁😁

Excellent video! Thx for it

Gracias! Me fue muy útil!

Its a great video. Btw we have the same laptops... Its a perfect video. Thank you!

Can you tell me the specification of that RAM u installed ?

What kind of upgrades this machine support?

For those who cannot pull the DVD drive out use this trick: turn the laptop upside down. Make sure the battery is pulled out. In the battery's place there is a rectangular hole next to the "ODD RV" text where you can see part of the silver DVD drive. Push the DVD drive out using a screw driver or whatever. That won't break anything if all the screws are pulled out.

I have spent 4 decades reading schematics for diagnostics & repair, but on vehicles. My Dell A/C adaptor detects a short and GRN LED goes out, two good adaptors, battery out, same problem on this 3 year old unit. Now my question; I have a Dell Inspiron 15, series 3000. The info behind the RAM shows "Cedar AMD-MB 13283-1. Now, most numbers show an additional 4 digits, like 5632 then my 3283. Where do I find the correct numbers? Where do I go to find the diagnostics, flow chart and schematics once I have the correct #'s for this dead Dell? Retired against my will, just had 10 screws & two bars in my lumbar the July 2020. Surprise! Life is hard on body parts, nerves, rotator cuff, elbows... I just worked hard to keep my family happy and give them childhood memories and did. We spend most of our life getting things, but the last part, selling or giving it or children and grandchildren. I just got my first phone in 11 years turned on in June. Yes, 11 years, no smart phone or any kind. Just use my (# 3 of 5 dead laptops/ included Mac Air) to pay bills & get parts. I fix our stuff... Hopefully, I can add laptop to that list.
