Can anyone confirm that the Processor has to be removed to replace this
part. Also looking at the 1545 I see no reason for removing the screen
to replace this part although the screen bezel is very close and may
have to be removed. I am fitting one of these next week . I may be of
more help then .

According to the Inspiron 1545 service manual on the Dell web site, the
1545 breaks down like other Dell laptops:

# Remove the hard drive (see Removing the Hard Drive).

# Remove the optical drive (see Removing the Optical Drive).

# Remove the center control cover (see Removing the Center Control Cover).

# Remove the keyboard (see Removing the Keyboard).

# Remove the base cover (see Removing the Base Cover).

# Remove any installed memory modules (see Removing the Memory Module(s)).

# Remove the processor heat sink and processor (see Removing the
Processor Heat Sink and Removing the Processor).

# Remove the display assembly (see Removing the Display Assembly).

# Remove the eleven screws from the computer base.

In other words, you need to remove the display and other things, then
remove the palmrest and turn it over to replace the touchpad.

Why not download the 1545 service manual and study it first? The Dell
service manuals for laptops are quite good! Far better than HPaq's
(not generally available to the public, but you can get your own
contraband black market copy), Toshiba's (can't find anywhere),
Acer-eGateMachines (ditto) ... Ben Myers

Hi Bob good luck but i really dont think you need to remove the screen
or the processor to replace this part . Maybe just the power panel the
keyboard and some base screws . Once the keyboard is off you will have a
better idea . If you need to remove the Bezel be gentle lifting the
middle bottom part between the 2 screws as there is an adheasive strip
running from left screw to the right one as i replaced a bezel today on
that model .

Thanks kevin
