Dell XPS 9315 Palmrest Upper Set Keyboard Touchpad Assembly – Silver

Upper Chassis Assembly for XPS 13 9315 Repairs

The Dell XPS 9315 Palmrest assembly restores the keyboard deck, touchpad and palm rest on a damaged XPS 13 9315. This factory-fit upper chassis ships pre-assembled with the backlit keyboard, precision touchpad and internal ribbon cables. Technicians replace the entire top housing in one procedure.

The assembly uses CNC-machined aluminum for the palm rest and a backlit chiclet keyboard with a standard QWERTY layout. A precision multi-touch touchpad connects through an integrated ribbon cable. Fingerprint reader hardware appears on configurations that shipped with the option. Internal cables match the original motherboard connectors.

Dell service documentation lists the palm-rest and keyboard assembly as a single replaceable unit. The procedure requires removal of the base cover, battery, fan, display assembly, I/O board and system board before the upper housing lifts free. The aluminum finish matches the original Sky or Umber colorway. Installation needs Torx and Phillips drivers plus a plastic scribe.
