Genuine Dell UW165 microphone module

This is an original Dell OEM dual-array microphone module carrying part number UW165. It is supplied new and matches the component fitted to compatible Dell laptops at the factory. You receive only the module shown in the product image. Mounting screws are not included with this part.

Check your Dell model before ordering

Verify that your laptop appears on the supported list: Inspiron 1420, 1520, 1521, 1720, 1721 or Vostro 1400, 1500, 1700. The module is not compatible with other Dell series or with laptops from different manufacturers. Confirm the existing microphone has failed before fitting this replacement.

OEM build with screw-less mounting

The module uses the same construction as the factory-installed part for consistent audio capture quality. Because mounting screws are not supplied, you must reuse the original fasteners from the laptop. Ensure the mounting points on your chassis are intact so the module seats securely during daily use.
