- this is the video tutorial on changing the CMOS battery that worked for me: • Como Trocar a Bateria ... (it’s not in English but you don’t really need to understand what he’s saying)
i used the guitar pick to pry the two frontal clips open (the ones on either side of the faceplate).
another thing you might want to do while you’re inside is remove any lint and dust that may be trapped between the filter of the heatsink (that’s the big copper L) and the fan. just undo the five screws and gently pull it up by its copper neck, then peek where the filter was. this laptop is prone to accumulate a lot of debris in that area, stopping the airflow and causing overheating. it’s also a good idea to use some canned air to clean the filter of any further residue.
Well done...just to add, the AHCI mode for the SSD is actually recommended - and will work fine - if you have a more recent version of Windows installed - Windows 10 works. But note that if the machine used ATA with the old disk, and you change the setting to AHCI when replacing with an SSD, then Windows won't restart, so you should back up all your important data and reinstall Windows 10 after the change. My laptop has Windows 10 32 bit installed and it runs smooth with the 240GB SSD I installed, using AHCI mode.
2:53 Or a fingernail :)
Why are you whispering? I had to jack up my sound system to max just to hear you faintly.
Anyway, thanks for the help, appreciate it. My 15-year old 1525 has become far too slow; needs an upgrade.
sorry hahahah it was like 4 in the morning when i recorded this video, i should’ve had amplified the audio in post
i’m glad i could help! :)
Very helpfull.. thanks more power to your channel..
thank you so much! i’m glad i could help! :)
Thank you and God bless for this tutorial 💖🙏
thanks! glad i could help :)
That is a really useful tutorial, just what I was looking for, I want to try an SSD in my old 1525. good information and well presented, and no distracting music. well done! How is that SSD, is it working well? P.S. the video was a little quiet volume wise. 🙂
i'm very pleased to hear it! thank you :) the SSD is still working amazingly well even after some fairly heavy use (i must've filled and deleted its entire capacity in ISO files some two times in the past month), their parts seem to be indeed legit
also thank you for the advice! i'll watch the audio level next time hehe
can we use ddr3 or ddr4 RAM for dell inspiron 1525
Thank you so much for your valuable guidance. It saved me from a lot of headaches. Thank you once again.
mine does not boot? is it because I use windows 10?
i’m not sure, but i think that if you have a preexisting install on the ssd made on a computer with UEFI enabled, you’ll have to reinstall windows 10.
No ma, gracias chica funcionó ❤
me encanta que tenga ayudado, gracias :)
mother savior god protect you at all costs!!!! this is gold! than you very much!!! it was driving me F crazy the thing of not detecting the SSD and i didn't knew what else to do until i found your explanation!!!!
hahahah, glad i managed to help!! :)
How did you disassemble it?
the bottom cover is held in by captive screws, so you just unscrew them until they are loose in place and/or clicking every turn. the cover might be a bit stubborn even if fully unscrewed, so i just use a staple extractor to lift it off once all screws are loose.
good 👍
Ur voice very sweet ❤
thank you :3
Thanks for the video, both the advice on the SSD connection and BIOS setting solved my problems during the upgrade of the same laptop.
thanks . it works for me. it happened to me on my dell 1545 with my ssd
Thanks!!! ❤😊
thanks a lot
Can I just buy and use a regular SSD or do I need a specific size or something (im new to old laptops plz help)
You can buy a stick on spacer. Some SSDs come with them, for example Adata used to include it in the package with the SU800 if I remember correctly
as long as it’s a SATA SSD, it’ll work (not NVMe)
It keeps beeping. What did I do wrong?
at what point does it beep?
sssooooo goood! Thanks!
This is the most helpful tutorial on this topic, thank you so much 💖

I love you ❤ thanks for this video

how to remove hdd from that caddy of hdd?
you'll have to remove the four screws holding the HDD in by the sides, then screw the SSD in its place
Awesome trick !!

Thank you! this video solved my problem.
Awesome video!!! Thank you
That pc is happy now , no more spinning turtles
You made my day
i’m glad to hear! thank you :)
Great tip, thank you! For the record, I didn't have to change Flashcash or SATA options from default, on BIOS A17, a Crucial MX500 500GB SSD and Windows 11.
my bios isn’t up-to-date because i don’t have a battery anymore, that’s interesting! i’m curious, though, how slow does windows 11 run on your computer? i’ve had… pretty unbearable experiences with it running on CPUs over a decade newer than that
@@gtkruntime5520 Yes, it's slow, as expected 🙂
What is specifications
are you asking about 1. the stock Inspiron 1525 specs, 2. the minimum required capacity for the SSD, or 3. the specs of my unit specifically?
1: when the 1525 was being sold, users could choose the specs that best suited their needs, so there’s a lot of variations knocking around
2: it depends on the OS you’re going to run. i use Windows XP because i like the versatility and how fast it runs on my PC, so a 120 GB SSD is more than fine for me, but you should probably pick higher if you’re running anything later than Windows Vista
3: Intel Celeron @ 2 GB RAM, iirc. as i mentioned in the previous answer, the SSD is a Goldenfir 120 GB, but the HDD it came with was a dreadful Fujitsu 120 GB that died as soon as the warranty expired.
