Hey, it's 2021 and this laptop is 12 years old. Someone gave it to me for nothing. I replaced the battery, loaded, Ubuntu, and thanks to your video; I was able to replace the keyboard that was missing 6+ keys. Thanks, guys!
Awesome. My daughter tore all my keys off. I ordered a new keyboard online for 20 bucks after shipping. Just watched your video and had it done in less than 5 mins, and it works! Thanks so much!
Thanks for the refresher. This was slightly easier than replacing the keys on my Inspiron 1525. I thought there was something seriously wrong while I was doing this repair, because the keyboard would not come out once everything was unscrewed. Turns out it was just cemented down in place from the owner spilling sodas on the keyboard. Yuck! (On a side note I suspect the one person who dislikes this video is Michael Dell)
Thank you - I used your guide to successfully replace the keyboard. An old machine but still capable of running a lot of stuff here in 2024. All the best
Excellent tutorial. I bought a new keyboard from Amazon for about $15, followed the instructions in the video and everything works well. So much better than paying the computer repair store $100 just to look at my computer. One caution note! Those little screws are REALLY little; so if you have stubby fingers, make sure you have a well-lit work space and somewhere to put the little screws.
Thanks for uploading. I would never have attempted this till i saw your video. I was quoted £75 to get this done. The keyboard cost me £9 and i did this in under ten minutes. Many Thanks
Thank you very much! It was easier than I tought. Your video is clear, simple, no-nonsense and stright to the point. The new keyboard worked like a charm.
Thanks for the video! It's very informative. I saw another video and was wondering why you have to remove the screws where the battery is. Glad you explained it in your video. My keyboard broke so I'm hoping to replace it as soon as my replacement keyboard arrives. This saves me however much Dell would charge me if I were to send it to them.
Sometimes the screws can be really stiff. Make sure you are using the correct size screw driver and apply extra downward pressure while unscrewing them to get them to loosen up.
Thanks so much for this! I'm typing this on my new keyboard. My "s" key started to become unresponsive until it finally died completely. I had resorted to using ctrl+c/v to write an "s" until my "d" key failed as well. The ribbon cable on the new keyboard is not bent. This makes it kind of tricky to hold in place while you flip the latch over top of it. I followed the directions and the keyboard didn't work. After opening it up again and reseating it, it works great!
Really great clear video.worked well. Replacing the ribbon cable was the only bit I found a bit tricky but managed it by freezing the video at that point. Thanks.
Thanks for the video. I hope more people find this and give it a shot on their own. Just for giggles I called best buy to ask about having them replace my keyboard and they quoted me around 150 dollars for a keyboard replacement!!!! What a joke! I truly think my wife could have done this herself.
important upload!!! I MUST FIND IMMIDIATELLY THIS KEYBOARD FOR MY LAPTO..WHERE CAN I FIND IT OR ORDER?(BECUASE I LIVE IN GREECE AND THE TECHNICAL SUPPORT DONT SHOW THIS PART OF THE LAPTOP TO FIND OR BUY)THANKS!!!!

Hi guys! It's look like very simple but i changed my laptop keyboard and then the new one doest start, i don't know if is the key board or if is not input well.
How can i know what it is? Help!!!
Thanks very much for the video.
awesome got keyboard for like 16 bucks laptops like new now!
thanks!
Im gonna do it now. Thank you.
When I've had that problem I would use an electric screwdriver and a lot of downward pressure. They usually break free with a lot of pressure.
My question is can you replace a Dell inspiron keyboard with an hp Pavillion keyboard
No, I would assume not. I've never tried but I would guess the cables and screw locations will be different.
+Parts-People.Com, Inc Um OK thank you for the Info
Thanks so much. This video was m o s t helpful!
How do I replace or fix that wire attached to the cover? I accidentó broke it
Which wire are you talking about?
Yes! Thank you so much.
thank you SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you
Usefull!
I believe they are 2mm x 3mm
No, notebooks and laptops are the same, just different terminology. The 1545 has only one size keyboard.
