My Dell Inspiron 15 3567 has a bottom cover which I STRONGLY suggest be removed after REMOVING THE BATTERY.

IMHO Those are important steps - their omission makes me lose any credibility for your site.

The steps that need to be PRIOR to this guide are to remove the keyboard first, disconnect the keyboard cable, remove the 5 screws under the keyboard attaching the plastic to the motherboard. Then turn over the laptop, remove some 12 screws or so, remove the battery, remove the DVD drive, then separate the bottom case from the rest of the laptop carefully.

This guide is utterly useless and it neglects all the steps to get the actual bottom cover off to access the hard drive assembly. Zero stars.

This guide is totally incomplete. It doesn’t show how to access the drive in the first place. This guide should be taken down.
