STEP 5.
Lift up the top side of the keyboard as it shown on the picture below.
Be careful, it is attached to the motherboard with a flat ribbo cable.
STEP 6.
Remove the keyboard so you can access the ribbon cable.
Before you remove the keyboard, its necessary to unlock the connector and release the cable.
WARNING! If you damage the connector, youll have to replace the whole motherboard. Be
careful.

STEP 7.
On the picture below the connector is shown in the locked position.
Carefully flip the brown part of the connector up, so it opens up at a 90 degree angle.
On the picture below the connector is shown in the unlocked position.

STEP 8.
Now you can pull the cable from the connector and remove the keyboard from the laptop.
Replace the failed/damaged keyboard with a new one.
You can search for a new keyboard by the Dell part number printed on the sticker. In my case the
part number is 0P446J.
On the following picture you can see how to access other main components of this Dell Inspiron
1545 laptop.
1. In order to remove the CD/DVD drive, youll have to remove one screw securing the drive
(yellow circle) and pull the drive out.
2. In order to remove the hard drive, youll have to remove two screws securing the hard drive
caddy (green screws) and pull the hard drive assembly out.
3. Both memory modules (RAM modules) and wireless card can be accessed and removed after
you remove the base cover.
4. The CPU (processor) is mounted under the heatsink.

Rikr,
How can i change the touchpad?

Are you working on a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop?
Take a looks at this service manual.
You can get to the touch pad after you remove the palm rest.

hey great article, but how do i put the new one in?
Just follow steps 8-1.

Hi, I took my enter key off, because it was sticky, and now I can figure out how to put it back on. Could you help me?
May 23, 2010 |
Hi! I followed everything correctly and put everything back into place, but now the laptop doesnt want to turn on. What can I do to
fix that?

Can I remove the palm rest without removing anything else?
June 6, 2010 |
Emily,
Can I remove the palm rest without removing anything else?

Nope, youll have to go through all steps in my guide.
After that you remove all screws on the bottom of the laptop, screws under the keyboard, remove the display panel.
Only after that you can remove the palm rest (top cover assembly).
Youll find palm rest removal instructions here: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins1545/en/SM/index.htm

Hi, great information. One of my left touchpad button became loose and now has come off the touchpad. I have tried to follow the
same rules as replacing a key from the keyboard but when it does not want to go back on, its still very loose and falls out of place.
Any ideas of how can I can pop it back on? Cheers

The black latch on the keyboard connector broke at the small hinges. Can it be epoxied into place? The connector itself is ok.
June 12, 2010 |
Jenny,
I believe the touchpad button is a part of the top cover assembly.
You cannot put it back in place same way as the keyboard key.
If the touchpad button is broken, youll have to replace the whole top cover assembly.
Correction: I was wrong. In this model the touchpad buttons can be replaced separately from the top cover assembly. Please take a
look at the comment 17. Thank you to The Realizer.

Hi,
just bought a 1545 Inspiron at a swap meet. When I got it home and charged up was able to go through the setup menu. I found a
anti theft feature that is set by original owner and is not resettable, at-least through the menus. None of the passwords were set
just this feature. I am concerned, since the notebook can call home and report its location and look bad for me if it was originally
acquired through seedy means. In the used market people sell lap tops all over the place. Is there any info available on this feature
and how to reset it so I can set it myself.

Correction
It is not necessary to replace the whole palmrest assembly to fix the touchpad buttons.

The Realizer,
It is not necessary to replace the whole palmrest assembly to fix the touchpad
buttons.
Thank you for your correction. I was wrong.

Try reconnecting the keyboard cable. Maybe its not seated correctly.
July 22, 2010 |
Instructions were perfect and precise. The photos really helped me to ensure I knew where to look (especially when disconnecting
the keyboard from the motherboard). thanks for a great tutorial!

Okay so some soda accidentally fizzed over when I opened my bottle today, even though I thought it wasnt fizzy. As a result, my
spacebar barely works, my e and r keys like to press at the same time, and my left mouse button barely presses. My left control +c
combo likes to turn off my wireless.
I tried drying out my computer but things are just sticky now. Any suggestions on how to clean the keyboard once this is open?
September 1, 2010 |
Just wanted to say thanks for this website and the very detailed instructions. I tried to get help from Dell Tech support but they
seem like a bunch of idiots. I did as instructed from this website and all went well. Thank you so much and keep up the good work.

hey. Nice tut.

I broke off the hinge on the power-board ZIF connector on this same model, Inspiron 1545. The hinge-part is gone, and now Im
stuck with a ribbon and no way to connect it.
Any ideas? thanks
September 6, 2010 |
e.m.fields,
Do you still have the broken clip?
You can try the following:
1. Insert the ribbon cable back into the connector.
2. Install the broken clip back in place.
3. Secure the clip with sticky tape (or duct tape).

heya..
i hv dell inspiron 1545.. my lil bro has doodled on the front cover of my laptop with pen. so can u pls tell me how can iremove it
from frontcover ???? so as it look good before
9/20/2016 12:46 PM
Thanks a million. You saved me an hour trying to get through to tech support in India. Most of the Dell tech support guys dont
listen to the customer. I went through 3 weeks, 3 hours & countless times being fustrated trying to tell them my optical drive was
shot. Finally I got someone who listened to me and now my problem is fixed. Keyboard was another issue. At least they covered it
with no problem. Great site will recommend it to all my friends. Much appreciated, Ralph.

Thanks a lot!! really clear instructions changed the keyboard in 5mins..
October 16, 2010 |
Great article. Thanks a bunch for the useful info. I had a question that hope you can answer. The fan on my Inspiron 1545 makes a
loud grinding-like sound when the laptop starts up and when I activate it again after hybernation. It seems that any pressure to the
underside of the laptop where the fan is located, makes the sound louder. I am thinking that something might be rubbing up against
the fan and causing it to make the noise. I have checked for any debris and have not found anything. Any suggestions? Thanks!
October 17, 2010 |
Elaine,
I guess youll have to disassemble the laptop completely and take a closer look at the fan.
The fan itself could be bad.
Youll need this service manual for Dell Inspiron 1545. It explains how to remove the top cover and access the fan.
I would probably buy a new fan before taking it apart. Most likely youll have to replace the fan anyway.
A new fan is not expensive.

My wifes 1545 has a hard rive error. ive run the diagnostic check and Im getting a 2000-0142 error code which cant be repaired.
Its out of warranty and I cant buy a replacement drive through Dell. Is this a serious error and if so where can I buy a replacement
drive?
Many thanks,
James
October 20, 2010 |
James,
Im not familiar with Dell error codes, but if you run internal diagnostics and it says the hard drive has to be replaced, it means the
failure is bad.
Your Dell Inspiron 1545 has a regular 2.5 SATA hard drive installed. Any large 2.5 SATA hard drive should work just fine.
Where to buy? All over the internet. Just google 2.5 SATA hard drive and youll find it. You can use any brand: Seagate, WD,
etc it doesnt matter.
Most likely your local computer shop has it.
Dell specification says you can install up to 640GB hard drive into this laptop.

Wow this is some really great stuff, info like this is in such high demand and low in availability.
Anyways, my deal is with a Dell mini 10. It wont start-up and Ive tried and checked everything (cords, plugs, power buttons bars
etc) I get a white light indicating its on and if the adapter is pulled after charging it will in time discharge. There just is nothing on
the screen and no indication of it re-starting, re-booting etc, no flickering lights, no start-up sort of noises. Im prepared to open the
unit up if need be because at this point Ive nothing to lose. Repairs are just to costly and the unit is probably cheaper re-placed. Its
only 14 months old and out of warranty of course. My daughter claims she set it to shut down, closed the lid and walked away. Two
hours later when she went to restart its as described above. Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanx again for
all this great info & help
October 23, 2010 |
Gumpygrampa West,
First of all, try the following method.
Turn off the laptop, disconnect the AC adapter, remove the battery and wait for a few minutes. Now plug in the AC adapter and try
turning it on again.
If this doesnt work, the next step would be replacing the memory module. It could be failed memory.
Unfortunately, in order to access the memory module youll have to disassemble the entire notebook and remove motherboard.
I would suggest buying a new memory module before you disassemble the laptop. After the motherboard removed, you replace the
memory and assemble everything back together.
If the laptop still doesnt work, most likely this is motherboard failure. This laptop not worth replacing the motherboard. Its too
expensive.

not know about it and left it on for more than 12 hours. Only then I realize. Im currently looking for the keyboard replacement on
the Dell site but they do not have it. Maybe Im just not too great with the site but if anyone could post the link for me would be a
great help. I sent it to the tech support guys in Malaysia and they are total morons. Currently using an external keyboard to type.

hi, i left a deal on one of ur sites a day or two ago and cant seem to find it so making another one so maybe i can figure this
problem out. i got a laptop from a guy for free that was stepped on. after i got it i checked to see if it would come on it didnt. i
found out that the motherboard was bad and the screen and back cover and front trim and the hard drive. so i ordered all that and
put it all in and the screen was still dim to were u could barley see it.. so i decided that it was the inverter cause i didnt do that yet
so i ordered one of them put that in and still didnt work. so we had another screen that was stained in the back and smaller not
from a dell i hooked it up and it came on. so well i was thinking that the new screen i had ordered and put in there that they sent
me a bad one. so i called them they sent me another one and i just put that in there and started it up a half hour ago and its doing
the same thing really really dim. so i dont now whether to order another imverter thinking that maybe that other screen i put in
there took out the inverter cause i cant even get that one to come back up now or if its the ribbon cable behind the screen that is
bad ? im so puzzled at this point i was wondering if u could help me out here. thanks.

Whoever wrote this is a god among men.

You have SAVED MY LIFE, especially because I was so sure that it wasnt as simple as popping the hinge cover off first thing because
it felt like it was about to break, and now I know that was because I hadnt taken out the two screws in the battery compartment! I
would probably have broken my hinge cover if I hadnt known that! And the images helped SO MUCH, especially the ones of the
locked/unlocked keyboard connector!
In short, you are a gentleman and a scholar. You have saved my life. And I vow never again to spill soda on my laptop keyboard
April 28, 2011 |
thank you so much for your step by step instructions with out this i would have broken my hinge cover as well as my
keyboardconncetor i will deffo tell people about your site many thanks kind regards

Hi
On the Dell 1545 if does changing a damaged keypad also fix the scratch pad as there is no cursor movement when moving finger
over the pad. some coffee was spilt over the keyboard, Enter key does not work and only partial operation of other keys work
Thank you for your directions. They are excellent.

Thanks so much for this information about my laptop. I happened to accidently rip off the S key with my finger nail while playing a
game, so when trying to move back its quite hard to do. Now im actually used to this, and the point is that the nop that makes the
key move back also got broken. So them you really need a new keyboard, and caps lock also is doing weird though.
May 14, 2011 |
Excellent instructions. Im back up and typing this on my new keyboard.!!! Thank you so much.

did that last week, I just read your article today, so are you positive that I have to replace the WHOLE motherboard ? and how much
will that cost?
May 28, 2011 |
@ Pierre,
I removed the keyboard and accidentally broke the connector . I did that last week, I
just read your article today, so are you positive that I have to replace the WHOLE
motherboard ?
Do you still have the broken piece?
Heres what you can try:
1. Insert the keyboard cable into the connector the way it should be.
2. Place the broken piece into the connector the way it should be.
3. Secure the broken piece and cable with sticky tape.
May 30, 2011 |
This is a really fantastic, guide. I just replaced the keyboard on my wifes 1545. Easy ask pie with your tutorial. Thanks mucho!
June 1, 2011 |
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The swap took literally ten minutes from the time I removed the first screw, until I tightened the last.
Ive built / repaired a dozen or so personal desktops in my life, but this was my first time cracking open a laptop.
Dells failure to provide installation instructions with my replacement keyboard, led me to finding this site. Couldnt have it done it
without.
June 1, 2011 |
Hi,
My friends M key had been removed and would not work even when poked at with a screwdriver. I have replaced the whole
keyboard with a brand new one and it still wont work (though all other keys are fine). Any suggestions?
Thanks
Lee
June 5, 2011 |
@ Lee,
If a new keyboard didnt fix the problem, most likely this is motherboard related.
Take a look inside the keyboard connector on the motherboard. Is it clean? Maybe one of the pins got oxidized and doesnt make
good connection with the keyboard ribbon cable.
You can try cleaning the connector with tooth brash and 99% alcohol. Just make sure the laptop is turned off and battery removed
before the cleaning.
If it doesnt help. I guess there is no much you can do. Something wrong with the motherboard.

On my keyboard, the ASDF and the JKL; keys stopped being responsive. Ive tried:
1. reinstalling the driver
2. taking out the keys and cleaning underneath
3. doing a system restore to a point before the problem occurred.
These havent helped. Should I get a new keyboard or is there something else to try first?
Thanks.
July 2, 2011 |
thank you very much for posting this. I successfully replaced my keyboard in a matter of minutes because of your precise, clear
instructions. I have never done anything like this before.
When my financial situation improves, I will definitely make a donation. Thanks again. I am grateful to have been able to fix this so
easily.
Hello my CD/DVD is broke. And Im trying to (re)install Windows Vista in this laptop.
So I take an external CD/DVD drive. The problem is : I try to boot from the external drive but the laptop dont recognize it. Even if I
put boot priority to USB device
Somebody have a clue ? Thanks !!!
Ok I found it :
You have to TAKE OUT the internal CD/DVD drive, and the external drive will take the lead !
I hope this could be helpfull !

thank you
December 20, 2011 |
Thank you SO much for this article. I spilled mountain dew on my keyboard which left many keys sticky and slow. I also broke off
the Ctrl key trying to clean it. Then my enter key stopped responding well from wear and tear. For $15 total I could order a
replacement keyboard, and I was confident enough to do it myself thanks to your clear instructions and photos! THANK YOU!
Small note: When you are placing the new keyboard in, make sure the ribbon slides under the connector all the way. There are
small tabs that should line up with holes on the edge. Once those have lined up you can flip down the brown connector and youre
good to go!
No more drinks around my laptop!
January 17, 2012 |
thank you !!! my brother throw this laptop away because the keyboard error now i can use the laptop..!

Best Buy was going to charge $30 for a keyboard from Dell (if available) plus shipping, plus $50 for labor to replace a Dell 1545
Inspiron keyboard. Found a replacement keyboard by Pwr+ on Amazon that cost under $20, and using your instructions here, had
the old puppy swapped out and the new one installed and working inside of 4 minutes. Took me longer to find where Id put the
screwdrivers.
THANK YOU!
