Genuine Dell OEM Palmrest Assembly
This genuine Dell OEM palmrest assembly fits Vostro 5501 and 5502 laptops. It includes the W7PK2 palmrest and the 1FRFK backlit keyboard. The part arrives new and matches the components shown in the product images. It is intended for owners repairing or refreshing those specific models.
Sustained Typing and Backlight Operation
The integrated backlit keyboard is designed for continuous typing sessions under normal office or study conditions. Because the assembly is an original Dell component, its key mechanism and illumination behave consistently over long periods without the variance sometimes seen in aftermarket alternatives. No thermal or electrical performance figures are published for this part.
Model-Specific Compatibility Constraint
This assembly only fits the Dell Vostro 5501 and 5502; it will not install in other Vostro series or Latitude chassis. The touchpad module is not included, so a separate purchase is required if that component also needs replacement. Buyers who need a palmrest for a different laptop model cannot use this part.

Questions about this item
Does the backlit keyboard on this Vostro 5501 palmrest assembly draw noticeable power or generate extra heat during all-day use?
The backlit keyboard is a standard low-power LED module; it adds negligible draw and no measurable heat to the Vostro 5501 or 5502 chassis.
Besides this palmrest, what existing Vostro 5501 components must I keep to complete the installation?
You must reuse the original touchpad module, its ribbon cable and the palmrest mounting screws from your Vostro 5501 or 5502.
Will the W7PK2 palmrest and 1FRFK keyboard fit a Vostro 5502 that currently has a non-backlit palmrest?
Yes, the assembly matches both Vostro 5501 and 5502 chassis; swap the whole unit and connect the existing keyboard and backlight cables.
