I’m watching this video on an Inspiron 1545
?
Agora vou desmontar? o meu dell, obrigado!
Thanks a lot,? great upload. Much appreciated!
why doesnt this laptop have HDMI? Input
Thanks for your answer! I was told by a? computer parts shop the inverter should be there somewhere under the keyboard, but I also started to think it might night have been true. A little bit depressing though as to what this means for the possibilities…
I think the screen or maybe the computer’s ‘close lid’ switch is? broken or defective. You mentioned your screen is a WLED screen, or while light emitting diode, the same as mine, these don’t have real inverters like ccfl lcd’s. The only way i can see you fixing this is to replace the LCD, if that doesn’t work, you can only replace the motherboard. Obviously these are costly options and you might as well use/buy an external monitor. good luck!
Hi Charlie, I just partly disassembled my inspiron 1545, looking for the inverter, because the backlight doesnt work anymore. The inverter is not in the screen but should be somewhere in the laptop. Still I couldnt find it. Inpiron 1545 comes in three different monitors, mine is the LCD15,6-inch WXGA WLED (1.366 x 768) TFT-screen with TrueLife™. do you have any idea? where I should look? Thanks!
Great? Video.
I can’t remove the screws that hold the power button. They’re not stripped, I could? turn them for ever and they just won’t come out. Anyone know what the problem is?
go to 53:16, it is located under the? ram (with the motherboard removed) good luck!
Hi where is the CMOS Battery located exactly and? where is it shown in this video? Thanks!

Im watching this? on a dell inspiron 1545
Brother I am sure about my charger that? its working properly. I double checked with another charger as well. But it did not work. is there anything with the board?
from what i understand, you were working on it, and when you tried to turn it back on, it never turned back on.. There is probably a cable you forgot to plug back in on? the bottom of the laptop near the battery.. your gonna have to take apart the whole laptop again.. doublecheck all your cables..good luck
@CharlietoKind A week ago I was working on my computer Dell Inspiron 1545. I shut down properly but when i tried to turn on my laptop next morning. I didnt get any response. Now, regardless of what power source I try to use – battery or cord or both (i checked another charger as well) my computer will not respond at all to my attempt to boot it.? That is, when I press the power button, the light that indicates power does not come on, the fan does not engage, and nothing appears on the screen. thx
Yes, you can but you will have to buy 3 things: a? PCI-e to ExpressCard/mPCIe adapter, a power supply that has enough current on the 12V rails, and a PCIe graphics card (I recommend a Fermi nvidia card if you have an intel iGPU). There’s a whole thread on NBR about it. forum.notebookreview.c om/e-gpu-external-graphics-discussion/418851-diy-egpu-experiences.html
I have this laptop and it comes with a ATI MOBILITY RADEON HD 4330 graphics card. Can? I buy a better graphics card and replace it or should I just buy a new laptop all together?
i got it to work, but i cant use the caddy properly since the newegg description was incorrect as it it 7mm, i have to put it in a certain way otherwise it just doesnt feel like its? secured, just falls out if shaken and it doesnt show up in bios
i have tried an intel ssd on my 1545 and it works flawlessly..Maybe you dont have the bios settings right.. make sure it? is set in achi mode in the bios.. and make sure the ssd is sata II compatible.. Good luck..
@CharlietoKind do you know if this? laptop has a problem with ssds i have been trying to get my sandisk 128gb ssd to work and it wont, i also saw the same problem with agility 3 ssds on dell forums but there was no answer, i know its not doa as it works in an enclosure but thats not why i bought it
oh my mistake I see? what you were talking about.. wow wtf..
On my laptop, the mic? in the audio options only appears when you plug a mic in.
Thanks for the reply..
the? upgraded the ram..is it truly really necessary?
i’d like a better frame rate not a better graphical experience.
anyway I have decided I will probably ask some to install it for me,
because from what i have heard a usb card doesn’t increase performance
