In this video, we will show how to replace the M.2 2230 solid-state drive with the M.2 2280 solid-state drive on the Inspiron 14 5410 2-in-
1.
Before removing the SSD, read through the safety guidelines to protect your computer from potential damage and ensure your personal safety.
For more information about safety guidelines, see the Inspiron 14 5410 2-in-1 service manual at Dell.com/Support. Before you begin, turn off the computer, disconnect all attached peripherals, and remove any micro-SD card installed in the micro-SD card slot on your computer.
To enter "Service Mode", press and hold the "B" key on the keyboard, and then press the "Power" button. Now, the computer will boot up, and the "Owner Tag" information is displayed on the screen. Press any key to proceed.
The computer will emit three short beeps and shut down. Ensure that you always use ESD protection when working inside the computer. To begin, loosen the three captive screws that secure the base cover to the palm rest and keyboard assembly.
Then, remove the four remaining screws that secure the base cover. Pry the base cover from the top left corner, and then continue to work on the sides to open the base cover.
Lift the base cover off of the palm rest and keyboard assembly. Remove the screw that secures the SSD to the SSD bracket. Slide and lift the SSD from the M.2 card slot on the system board. You have successfully removed the M.2 2230 solid-state drive.
Now, let's install the bracket for the M.2 2280 solid-state drive. To replace the 2230 solid-state drive with the 2280 solid-state drive, remove the solid-state drive bracket from the palm rest and keyboard assembly, and turn the solid-state drive bracket at an angle of 180 degrees.
Then, insert the solid-state drive bracket into the other solid-state drive bracket slot on the palm rest and keyboard assembly, and secure the solid-state drive bracket to the palm rest and keyboard assembly.
Align the notch in the solid-state drive with the tab on the solid-state drive slot, and slide the M.2 2280 solid-state drive into the slot on the system board at an angle.
Replace the screw that secures the SSD to the SSD bracket. Reinstall the base cover by aligning and placing the base cover on the palm rest and keyboard assembly.
Press the edges and sides of the base cover until it snaps into place. Tighten the three captive screws, and replace the four screws that secure the base cover to the palm rest and keyboard assembly.
You can now reconnect all peripherals. To install the micro-SD card, insert the micro-SD card into its slot until it clicks into place. Connect the power adapter and press the "Power" button to power on the computer and exit from "Service Mode".
The computer will turn on only if the power adapter is connected. You have replaced the M.2 2230 with the M.2 2280 solid-state drive on the Inspiron 14 5410 2-in-1.
