Hi, I have a Dell G5 5500 and i have just ordered the Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2 TB PCIe NVMe M.2 (2280) to replace my current 1TB drive.

I did try to open this laptop once before and gave up because i just couldn't see how to open it once the screws were out, it just wouldn't seem to come apart.
For anyone who has opened one, do you have any tips on how you done it?
I think i read somewhere that when i open it, there is a wire you have to disconnect?
Is the SSD easy to replace once you have it apart?
Also, will my old ssd have a heatsink on, or is it not needed for these ssd's?

Regards
James
