Genuine Dell OEM palmrest for Vostro 15 models
This genuine Dell OEM palmrest assembly carries part number HHXM9 and fits Vostro 3520, 3525, 15 3530 and 15 3535 laptops. It is built for units equipped with discrete Nvidia graphics, an optional USB-C port and wireless antennas routed through the display assembly. The kit includes the black textured palmrest, a non-backlit keyboard and the discrete-graphics keyboard bracket.
Passive thermal design with no moving parts
The assembly contains no fans or active cooling components, so it adds no audible noise and draws no electrical power. Heat from the keyboard area dissipates naturally through the textured plastic surface during normal typing. No thermal interface material or additional airflow considerations are required for this replacement part.
Textured finish and integrated USB-C cutout
The black textured palmrest resists fingerprints and provides a stable surface for daily use. A dedicated USB-C opening matches the optional port on compatible motherboards, while the included MGFFM bracket aligns with discrete-graphics chassis standoffs. Buyers whose systems lack discrete graphics or the USB-C option cannot use this specific palmrest assembly.

Questions about this item
How do I install the palmrest keyboard assembly on my Vostro 3520, and which step is most often missed?
Remove the bottom cover, battery, and motherboard screws; swap the palmrest; then reattach the keyboard bracket MGFFM for discrete graphics — that bracket is the step most people forget.
What maintenance or replacement will this HHXM9 palmrest need later?
The non-backlit keyboard may wear over time; you can replace just the keyboard module while keeping the palmrest and USB-C port DHFJ3 intact.
What limit appears first under sustained use with this discrete-graphics palmrest?
Thermals from the Nvidia GPU will throttle performance before the palmrest or keyboard shows any physical limit.
