Repair Tips for the XPS 15 9560
The bottom cover uses Torx T5 on the perimeter with a Phillips screw hidden under the XPS badge flap on some units — keep those separated from the internal Phillips screws. Screws are measured from under the head; when in doubt, match yours against the diagrams on each product page or use our Screw Size Finder Tool.
