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.
Will it fit if my service tag is different?
Dell reuses the same back cover (A panel) mould across multiple sub-models. For Inspiron 15 3501 this part is identical across all i3/i5/i7 and touch/non-touch variants of the same year. Always send us a photo of your existing panel via WhatsApp 0314 4000131 for a free fitment check.
How is the panel packed for shipping?
Each panel is wrapped in foam, double-boxed, and labelled fragile. We ship via TCS Plus or Leopards Premier across Pakistan. Damage in transit is replaced free — we cover return courier.
Can you install it for me?
Yes — bring the laptop to Shop 66A, 3rd Floor, Hafeez Center, Gulberg III, Lahore and we'll fit the panel in-shop. Most installations finish the same day. Labour is charged separately but discounted when you buy the part from us.

Who needs this Dell Inspiron 3501 back cover?
If your laptop lid has a crack from a drop, deep scratches from daily carrying, or the paint is peeling around the hinges, this A panel is the fix. It's also a common upgrade for resellers who want to present a clean machine to buyers in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar, or Sialkot. At Rs. 8,499, it's a cost-effective alternative to buying a whole new lid assembly — especially when you consider that Dell no longer produces these new for the 2020 model year. Getting the part from nnlaptops.com means you're dealing with a shop that has been bench-testing every used component for over eight years. Every panel is checked for structural integrity, hinge alignment, and antenna routing before it's listed.
How this panel compares to a new OEM part
New old-stock Dell Inspiron 3501 back covers are almost impossible to find in Pakistan's market in 2026. The originals were discontinued years ago. That's why a carefully used panel — graded, tested, and warrantied — is the smart choice. Our panels come from machines that were fully functional before being parted out; they're not scrap yard pulls. We photograph each one under uniform light so you see exactly the condition. If the visible grade isn't good enough for your standards, message Sayam on WhatsApp 0314 4000131 for live photos of multiple units. We often have several in stock and can pick the one that matches your expectation.
Shipping and service across Pakistan
For customers in Lahore, same-day delivery is same-day — just order before 2 PM. For those in Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar, Sialkot, and other cities, we ship via TCS or Leopards. We pack the panel in foam, double-box it, and mark it fragile. If it arrives damaged — even after careful packing — we replace it at no cost. The 30-day check warranty covers hidden defects or fitment issues. If it doesn't fit your specific Inspiron 15 3501 variant, bring it back or message us for a return. No hassle.
