1. Remove the bottom plate

Interestingly, the Inspiron 15 3582 is one of the few devices equipped with a DVD-RW drive. From disassembling perspective, this is the first thing you need to remove. Just unscrew the adjacent screw, and pull it away. Then, you need to remove further 12 Phillips-head screws. After that, turn the laptop around and open its lid. Start the prying process from beneath the touchpad and continue around the device.

2. Battery

As of the battery, the notebook is powered by a 42Wh unit.

3. Memory and storage

Then, let’s move to the memory, which features a single SODIMM slot. There is no soldered RAM here, and according to Dell, the maximum supported memory here is 8GB of DDR4 (up to 2400MHz). As of the storage – right beneath the RAM slot, you’ll see an M.2 drive slot, which supports PCIe x2 SSDs. Additionally, there’s a 2.5″ SATA drive bay on the other side of the battery.

4. Cooling system

After you pop the bottom plate open, you can see the passive cooling solution, used for this machine. Honestly, you shouldn’t worry about overheating, since this is a commonly used solution for 6W processors.
