Introduction
This guide will breakdown the Dell Precision 5530 all the way to a mostly empty lower case. Does not cover details of removal of: power button and controller; keyboard controller; display; or front LED.

'''Note: ''' this is simply one path to disassembly! Some of the parts can be removed in a different order, i.e. the keyboard does not need to be removed in order to remove the speakers (though the motherboard does).

'''Also note:''' It may be possible to remove the motherboard WITHOUT removing the heatsink, which avoids having to reapply thermal grease. I haven't checked this, but it seems likely.


Before starting, I recommend anti-static protection and a clean surface on which to work, as well as some way to differentiate between screws.
