Dell Inspiron 15 3501 LCD Back Cover (A Panel) replacement
The Dell Inspiron 15 3501 lcd back cover (a panel) is the rear plastic/aluminium shell of the laptop lid with black plastic finish, a direct OEM-fit replacement for Inspiron 15 3501 and 3505, 3502 laptops from around 2020. This is the outer lid that protects the display from the back — supplied with all original screw holes, hinge mount points, and antenna routing where applicable. Tested, scratch-graded, and in stock at N.N Laptops, Hafeez Center, Lahore.
What this panel is and what it does
This is the rear plastic/aluminium shell of the laptop lid with black plastic finish for the Dell Inspiron 15 3501. As the laptop's the outer lid that protects the display from the back, it carries cosmetic wear over years of use — scratches, dings, faded paint, cracked corners. A fresh panel restores the laptop's look and structural integrity without needing a full chassis replacement. Every panel we list has been pulled from a donor machine, cleaned, and inspected under bright light for cracks, dents, and stress fractures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What grade is this Dell 15 3501 back cover (A panel)?
We grade panels A (no visible marks), B (light surface scratches only — no cracks or dents), or C (heavier wear, but structurally perfect). The default listing is Grade A or B. If you need exactly Grade A, WhatsApp 0314 4000131 before ordering and we'll set one aside.
Does this come with the LCD / keyboard / hinges?
This listing is the back cover (A panel) only. No LCD glass, no keyboard, no internal boards. If you need a complete assembly (with screen and hinges) instead of just the panel, message us — we may have a complete top assembly in stock at a different price.
