why would someone dislike this video? This video is helping people out who need info on how to upgrade the harddrive if you dont like go somewhere else dont try to youtube your problems
Well the worst that can happen is you could damage the motherboard. Although, I would be lying if I didn't say that I have attempted these upgrades myself without looking back. So far, never run into an issue. However, no telling what could happen in your case. So with that being said, I would leave it up to you. Do more research and see what others have done and what worked for them. Thanks for watching!! Please show your support and subscribe!

Thanks for watching my videos. UA-cam is a place to share knowledge and its exciting to see people interested in my content. I sincerely appreciate your support. Thanks for watching and please subscribe!!
You can purchase an external hard drive really from anywhere. Your local tech store should have them or you can purchase one online at Amazon. They connect via USB and very simply to install. Thanks for watching! Please show your support and subscribe. :)
Great question! I think I spent around $10 for the set and I purchased it from Frys - an electronics store in Austin, TX. They have a website - just Google them (can't put link in comment). The screwdriver set is called iWork and it has come in pretty handy. Thanks for watching my videos!! Show your support and please subscribe!!
thanks for taking time to show,this,i know its simple but its nice to see it done first lol,,i have subscribed as will check out more your vids as got few repairs for friends
Hey! i got a question I also have the same computer and it has a 2gb memory, I would like to updgrade it to a 4gb where and what kind of memory should i buy??? great video it help me too!!
Any recommendations for a specific SSD drive for the1545? Also, if I save complete system backup to an external drive, should I be able to restore my Windows and system settings onto the new solid state drive?
So I have about a 6 year old Dell Inspiron 1545 and so far my battery has died (it needs to be plugged in for it to work at all times) and i am missing a "C" key. lol, and now my laptop is doing this weird thing to where it moved all my files (pics, vids, music, documents and such) out of the library and somewhere deep into the "OS [C:]" part of my computer. I was lucky enough to find them there when a friend looked at my laptop, I thought it had randomly reset in to factory mode. Is there any website or brand of keyboard/key and battery you recommend? and do you have any idea what might be the cause of my folder problem? (The background image is also gone and sometimes it's just a black background when I turn it on)
Thanks for the vid , mine is a 5 year old 1545 , Win 7 64 bit , T4300 cpu , 4 Gbs ram ,I`m upgrading the cpu to a P8700 @ 2.53 Mhz. want to put a better SSD in it , some where I read that it is a Sata 1.5 connection , I use Sata 3 SSD`s in my drsktops ,if I get a Sata 2 SSd it will work at what speed ,I see no use in putting in a Sata 3 SSd , also is there and chance the Gpu could be uninstalled and a better one put in ? Mine has the Intel GM 45 graphics and Gpuz says it was a Pci connection on the Gpu , thanks alot
+88s10Durango Hi again ,had problems , bought a P 8700 cpu , installed it correctly , the laptop won`t boot up now ?? I checked and this one has the latest A14 Bios ,thanks

hello there i just bought a new hard drive (wd10jpvx) for my dell 1545 but my computer doesnt detect it. it says ( no boot sector on internal hard drive) any suggention? thank you
Hy there, do you happen to know how to unlock the HDD password? I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 too, and the damn thing got blocked because I forgot my password... Any sugestions?
@InjectionLethal I wouldn't destroy the unit. The Dell Inspiron 1545 is not a bad computer at all. Yes, the design is a bit weird and unconventional from a lot of other Dell computers but for the most part this is not a bad unit. Stay focused, keep at it, look for a detailed tear-down manual for this particular computer. I am not certain but Dell may have this on their website. Thanks for watching and please subscribe! :)
i removed my hard drive and put it back in and now my laptop wont boot at all. its turns the fan on then shuts back down. any help on the matter will be greatly appreciated
it looks like the owner of the pc has had to replace the battery (just like my old dell inspiron) i am currently trying to find the best ways to upgrade it. so i can have a decent windows pc as well as its opposite.
I have a set of screwdrivers called bulldog. If I'm not mistaken, I purchased them from Amazon. Best of luck! I appreciate your support. Thanks for watching and please subscribe!!
I get error code 2000-0142. I put a ps3 hard drive in(350gb 5400rpm sata). The error never came up, but still not booting. Should I get a hard drive for a laptop and try it still? I think the one out of my ps3 should have worked..
Hi, I have a question. In the dell website, it says that the maximum memory for my inspiron 1545 is 4GB. But I found a few sites that says 8GB is possible too. So what do you think about this? Should I risk it? Thank you so much! Btw, same extended battery haha :D
hi my dell 1545 dell inspiron is making me do a scan every time i start my laptop. it scans on a black screen for consitinsy of the hard-drive is it possible to fix.
hi, I had bought a new hard disk. unfortunately it feels a little loose in the slot and is not getting detected. it a 9 mm Seagate hard disk of 500 GB. any suggestions?
egymke0 I fixed it by stubbing the additional space with a folded paper to make it fit in the slot. Not sure if this is the right way. But it worked for me.
Please give me more details or kindly send me some pictures this problem from 3 years ago and not fix . I have that 500GB seagate. Show me please in details.

Dylan, sorry for the late reply - I've been swamped. I would do an upgrade to the OS and memory. Upgrade your operating system to 64bit and then you can max your memory at 6GB. Thanks for commenting and please subscribe!!!
i spilled pepsi on my 8 year old dell 1545 inspiron and now it say everything is good but the hard drive. do you think it will be ok if i put in a new one?
You can install a hard drive of any size. Since they're so inexpensive these days, I would do a minimum 1TB hard drive. Good luck! Thanks for commenting and please subscribe!!!
ITC Austin I got a 2.5 in SATA HDD on Amazon that said it was a replacement for the original Drive in the Inspiron 1545. dimensionally though the Old original Drive is thicker almost 3/8 of an inch vs 1/4 for the new one. Using original caddy the new one is not detected. What should I do? Get a new caddy and try it or send back the drive and find a new HDD that is the exact same thickness as the old one? If you know of a guaranteed source of the hard drive that would help. Thanks for the video, btw
Wow, the hard drive removal was so simple. Can't believe I didn't see it.
Thanks for the upload!
No problem, very glad to have helped. Thanks for commenting and please subscribe!!!
Thanks for going straight to the point. I didn't even have to wait till the end to get the hard disk out.
Thanks a lot
Nice video. I was relieved to see how easy it is to remove and replace the hard drive. Two screws only!
Thanks Kevin! Thanks for commenting and please subscribe!!!

My System Specifications but still slow, what should I do:
Processor: Dual Core2(2.20ghz)

Put an SSD on your PC, some aplications will work more faster.
Use your HD on a HD USB case.
If my computer is stuck at startup repair system and if I get a new hard drive will that fix it
