AlienWare Dell 15R4/17R4 interchangeability

[cicrblade]

Hello!,

My Dell 15R4 has the battery busted. and the palmrest snapped(somehow). I got a friend that has a Dell 17R4 with the board busted and we were thinking if is possible to install the 15R4 board into the 17R4?

Is there a parts compatibility list somewhere? ideally I wold like to install the 17R4 palmrest into my laptop

thanks.

thanks for the info. I'm guessing. nor the palmrest or board are able to fit?

how about the battery?

Unknown about the battery, but I doubt it.
You'd have to measure and see.
