    I can't thank you enough for this video. I was just given this as a hand-me-down laptop because someone dropped it and damaged the power jack. I assumed that it was all just one board and I would have to get a new jack soldered in which was going to be expensive (but still less than buying a new laptop) because I can't solder. But the charger board is separate! You have saved me so much money! I love you.

    This video helped to see how one flips up the cable connector switches so
    that you don't push them out. Many of the other videos go too fast in removing
    cables. By the way, if you are replacing the dc card, you don't need to
    remove the heat sink, cpu, or wifi card. Thanks for the video Charlie - very
    helpful.

    Hey, Thank you very much. My fan had stopped working due to dust balls. Your video was very helpful in helping me to extract the fan and remove that dust. Thanks

    @JamesKves its a heat "transferrer" to simplify it. Your heatsink on the laptop and the processor are not perfectly flat, and to fix that, you put this stuff on to help fill in the gap between your heat sink and the processor, and lower the temperature. thanks for subbing!

  • @geweldigist
    @geweldigist 12 років тому

    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...

  • @CharlietoKind
    @CharlietoKind  12 років тому

    the 1545 does have an option for internal bluetooth...you can go into your devices and printers on your start menu and and open device manager to see if it is installed, if it is not working, you can replace it after removing the keyboard, same if it is not installed

    Charlie I'm impressed with the time and the work you did was Awesome, there certainly is a lot of more parts that go into a dell computer, I own a Toshiba Satellite and yep for the first time I took mine apart to clean the fan out all I can say is WOW, but getting back to your video you took the time to take it apart carefully and documented everything nicely Well done!! but try and not call yourself stupid or dumb it takes courage and patience to do what you showed on film too and you sound like you know your stuff well so give yourself some credit and keep your thinking on the positive side ok Well Done! on another note the Cmos battery could also be finally depleted as well and the disturbance was enough to finally kill it so all you have to do is replace it with a new one. Grade A score

    the 3rd mic is part of the array, it's not really a waste of resources if it helps improve sound capture quality etc.

  • @CharlietoKind
    @CharlietoKind  12 років тому

    the battery is located under the ram, but above the card reader. some of the plastic on the bottom is covering it, so to replace that battery, your gonna have to take apart the whole laptop, and replace using a CR2032 .. hope this helps!

  • @CharlietoKind
    @CharlietoKind  13 років тому

    @persianboyshayan it was the intel gma 4500mhd, it does pretty decent playback and decoding of videos. After the 4500, Intel made the 5000 series, or intel hd graphics, and after intel hd graphics, out came the intel hd graphics 2000 and 3000 in the intel core i3,15, and i7 CPU/gpu's... i just updated the info in the description.

  • @gricius
    @gricius 11 років тому

    Nice. I am having the exact same issue. Whenever the fan turns on I start hearing this grinding noise. I guess this might be due to overheating. Perhaps this noise might also because the fan is melted a bit?

  • @CharlietoKind
    @CharlietoKind  12 років тому

    @ 53:16, you can see that it is hidden below the ram (not under), but above the card reader. good luck. (yes, you have to take it apart to replace it!

    semi-high pitched fan whine is normal on this laptop. It can become extremely annoying if it's sitting on carpet or a bed. It should quiet down some if you lift the laptop up. As long as it doesn't sound like a bad bearing, or you are having overheating problems, the fan noise is probably normal.

  • @CharlietoKind
    @CharlietoKind  12 років тому

    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..

    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

  • @Forcedminer
    @Forcedminer 12 років тому

    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

  • @CharlietoKind

    @ThisIsOvertone no, you will usually find those oh higher end or at least higher end 17.3 inch notebooks

    Not all these 1545's have webcams and mics on the LCD...mine doesn't but it does have a mic by the mic/headphone jacks.

  • @CharlietoKind

    go to 53:16, it is located under the ram (with the motherboard removed) good luck!

  • @CharlietoKind

    from many many laptop battery tear downs, Usually the case is glued/heat welded shut, so opening the battery would ultimately destroy the battery. if you are looking for a replacement batter,y amazon.com has a 9 cell battery for under 30 for this laptop

  • @shiitakespacewarrior
    @shiitakespacewarrior 11 років тому

    I found this video because my sister's laptop of the same model has this whirring noise around the back, left side of it towards the fan. Is it worth digging in that far for the fan and worst case scenario, what do you think I should do about it?

    is the screen cracked? try plugging and unplugging the lcd cable carefully. my guess is some of the cable pins got disconnected from the laptop lcd opening and closing so many times.

  • @WheezerK9
    @WheezerK9 11 років тому

    I actually tested the inverter with a volt meter,it showed .05 for half a second then nothing... Odd that it worked before installing the ccfl,but at least I have some idea now.

  • @CharlietoKind
    @CharlietoKind  12 років тому

    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!

    @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

  • @Forcedminer

  • @CharlietoKind
    @CharlietoKind  11 років тому

    is that noise only on when the fan is on, everything on this laptop is on the left side. the hard drive can be whirring, the a/c power inlet can also, and so can the fan. worse case scenario is you find nothing and you have to put everything back together. it is probably a bunch of dust clogged up. 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!

    @persianboyshayan the intel core series has a built in gpu in the processor, a "gpu-cpu" chip basically, and you said you have 2 chips in your laptop?, one is what I just said, and more than likely, the other is the Chipset or northbridge. You can download this really cool program that tells you all the info of your PC. Its called CPU-Z. You really should google it and check it out.

    I am curious as to how the graphics and display function. I'm under the impression that it is built into the Intel Chipset, and cannot simply be swapped with a separate graphics card. The graphics haven't much to offer at a whopping 32 MB Dedicated video memory, and I have been considering upgrades. Though, I don't have much experience with laptops as I have always used a desktop. What can I do about this?

    This might be a silly question but is there a way to just remove the back cover (11:30) without taking out the keyboard? I see that in the video, the back cover is attached to components but is there a way to just remove the back and get to the fan easily? I just want to get to the fan and clean out the dust without removing too much out.

    • @CharlietoKind
      @CharlietoKind  10 років тому

      the best way is to blow compressed air into the fan outlet.. otherwise, you will have to take it apart to access the fan

    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

  • @Criptor93
    @Criptor93 13 років тому

    At 35:00 you didn't unlock the CPU all the way, thats why you had such a hard time removing the chip. You are supposed to use the flat screwdriver and unlock the little clip by going from the 9 Oclock position to the 3 Oclock position. You only went half way and went to 6 Oclock. Lucky you didn't damage the CPU.

The external monitor port works,but I can't carry a monitor and AC power for it when I go out. I'm hoping someone out there can tell me WTF is going on here!! I know the power inverter is good because it lit the ccfl before I installed it...

    you can easily find one on amazon or ebay for around 50$ brand new.. . .Just search on amazon dell inspiron 1545 power jack, .. also.. if you know how to use a soldering gun, you can just buy the DC jack and unsolder the broken one and solder a new one on for only around 10-20 bucks. This is how most laptops DC jack gets fixed.. because the jack is built onto the motherboard, not on a separate PCB. Good luck.
