Prince Xavier,

I would like to know if it is possible to change the fan of the dell inspiron 1525. Mine always goes at max speed and is quite noisy.

Yes, it’s possible and you can find instructions in the official service manual but try using the Fn+Z shortcut first.
Press down the Fn key and at the same time hit the Z key. You can use this shortcut to increase/decrease the fan speed. Does it work for your model?

I meant it goes at max speed no matter what. Either ON or OFF without any in between speeds. Thx for helping me…

Dave,

I noticed that the connector for the flat ribbon cable….the black piece that must be unlocked…is broken. One end of it is missing (i think it is floating around inside the computer) and 2 of the copper connector wires show. Does that connector piece come with a new keyboard?

Unfortunately, the black locking clip is a part of the connector on the motherboard. It doesn’t come with the keyboard.
Maybe you can insert the keyboard cable into the connector, lock it with the remaining part of the clip and secure with sticky tape?

After taking my computer apart to figure out if I needed to replace the keyboard or just a loose cable, I noticed that the connector for the flat ribbon cable….the black piece that must be unlocked…is broken. One end of it is missing (i think it is floating around inside the computer) and 2 of the copper connector wires show. Does that connector piece come with a new keyboard? Or any suggestions on how to fix it if it does not come with a new keyboard?

Thanks…
