    Can someone give their feedback on the ease or lack thereof to replace the palm rest assembly on the XPS15, (L501X)? I reviewed the Dell manual and it doesn't appear too difficult. Of course, the manual is one thing, reality another. Never having taken a laptop apart before, so I'm a bit reluctant but the repair is necessary.
    Thanks.

    I don't own a L501X but these two videos may help:
