Shenzou 1 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I'm going to go out on a limb and ask if anyone on here is good with computers, because I have this dell inspiron 1545 lying around in this apartment I live in and the hard drive/disk and battery are done. I've been looking to go and buy a new hard drive and battery, but I'm not trying to end up with parts that aren't compatible and wasting money. Link to post Share on other sites
nyu 0 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 For the HDD: You're going to need a 2.5" SATA drive. It looks like the machine only supports SATA 2 (3GB/s), but depending on how much money you're willing to spend on the system, it seems it still could be worthwhile to throw an SSD in it: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/sata-6gbps-performance-sata-3gbps,3110.html http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/internal-hard-drive/#f=3 Might be a good place to start looking. For the battery: I've purchased a couple cheap, third-party batteries on eBay. They're usually a bit worse in terms of capacity, but I don't mind since it can be as much as a $100 difference between them and first-party replacements. Just make sure that the description says it's compatible with the 1545. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=m570.l3201&_nkw=inspiron+1545+battery&_sacat=0 Good luck!
