    Hope someone could help me on my first post...

    My two year old has destroyed the keyboard on my 1545 and it is time to replace it. I'm a fan of the cliclet keyboard on the 15R. Is it possible to install a keyboard for a 15R into a 1545? The look the same when viewing them on ebay, I just don't want to bite the bullet and make a purchase for no reason if it wont fit.

    Thanks in advance.

    No they are completely different dimensions.

    15R (N5010/N5110) has a full sized numpad on the right hand side

    1545 does not, it's like the old school Dell keyboard layout. Sorry.
