Has your battery started to have any problems?
Mine is sometimes at 0% and not charging, although this may be related to the AC power.
Also, at the BIOS, I saw that the health of the battery is low. Did any of you get a permanent failure message? It happened to me with other Dell laptops but don't know if this problem is common in the 1545 too.

Dell BIOS will say the battery will not be detected if it is completely dead. When it is about to go Dell BIOS will also give a warning.

My wifes 1545....after a few minutes of inactivity will just lock up. No keyboard, no touchpad.
Win 7. have done all windows updates, dell updates, etc...just keeps doing it.
Any ideas? -

- Overheating
- Viral infections
- Failing hardware
Or a combination of these 3. Did you try running the Dell Diagnostic? Also try booting into a Linux Live disc and see if it locks up. -
The 1545 is pretty good, the keyboard key feel is pretty good (the layout is somewhat awkward), but given the price of these machines, it does the job commendably well.

You really don't like the E6400 keyboard? It's very similar to every single Latitude keyboard, like my Latitude 13, the E6410, E6500/E6510. It's a short travel length, kinda squishy. -

Hi there!
Do you guys know if there is any email address to sent directly complaints to Dell?
I've been waiting twice to receive an online poll about my satisfaction with Dell Customer Service. Seems that they know how would I rate them and haven't sent anything. -
Hi guys!
I've had this laptop for a while now (almost 2 years) and am very happy with it!
Recently I've been doing some upgrades to it and thought you might like to know:
1. Changed cpu from Pentium dual core T4300 @2.1 Ghz to Core 2 Duo T9400 @2.53Ghz.
2. Overclocked Ati Mobility Radeon HD 4330 from 450Mhz (Core) to 800mhz and 500Mhz to 620Mhz (Memory). Reason why memory is lower is because I can't go over 625 without starting to see artifacting, and I also have no idea why I can overclock the Core so high without any problems. I only keep it overclocked for gaming though so it still keeps normal battery life, not that I care too much about that.
I am also looking at trying an EGPU after Christmas and am getting a nice 21.5in Samsung Screen for it aswell.
Has anyone else tried overclocking CPU as I might try that next and if anyone else has tried any other upgrades then I would be happy to know.
Thanks! -
Recently sold mine. Was a great machine 3 years ago but the Core 2 duo just didn't cut it anymore.
