Inspiron 1545 Wireless Card
I have deduced that the wireless card needs replacing in my Inspiron 1545. I went through Dell's "find a product" page and it suggested two cards:
WLAN 1510 (802.11 a/b/g/n) - Half Height - Mini-Card - Kit
Wireless : Dell WLAN 1397 (802.11 b/g) 1/2 MiniCard
But when I go to more details the Inspiron 1545 isn't listed in the "compatible with". I went on to live chat and asked if they where compatible but they couldn't help and told me to call a third party!
To confuse me even more when I check my products on an Intel Report it says I have an Intel WiFi Link 5100 fitted.
Can anyone confirm that either of the Dell cards will fit the 1545.
Another confusion is that I check the YouTube videos for fitting a new wireless card and the only video I can see is for a half height card and when I open up the back of my laptop the card is in a different position covered by a piece of black plastic and I can't figure out how to get it out.
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Linda

Thanks for your reply which is very useful.
It turned out that the problem was a driver corruption issue so I don't need a new card. However, I will be keeping your reply in case I need one in the future.
Kind Regards

How would I know if the WiFi card is working or the connection is bad on the Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop as the computer does not recognize the connection?
