DELL Inspiron 1525 1526 Bottom Base Assembly WP015 accessory

Replacement Base for Inspiron 1525 and 1526

This new Dell OEM bottom base assembly restores the structural lower chassis of the Inspiron 1525 and 1526 models. It arrives with the power button circuit board, speakers, Wi-Fi switch and battery latch already fitted. The part matches Dell part numbers WP015 and U990C. The access door is not included.

Verify Exact Model Before Ordering

Confirm that the service tag or bottom sticker reads Inspiron 1525 or 1526; other 15-inch Dell chassis use different screw patterns and port cut-outs. Check whether your existing access door can be reused, because this assembly ships without one. Ensure the Wi-Fi switch and battery latch on the old base are damaged or missing, otherwise a simpler palm-rest repair may suffice.

Replaces Cracked or Warped Original Base

The assembly swaps out a base that has cracked around the hinge mounts, warped from heat or lost its battery latch engagement. It is worth fitting when the lower shell flexes enough to stress the motherboard or when the power button board has failed. Builders who need a complete lower chassis including the access door should look elsewhere.
