Shenzou 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.

nyu 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!
