@mbsfaridi if it has intel video as of now, no. you cannot install a nVidia or AMD/ATi video card in it. And the goes for about 98% of laptops ever on the market. Also, it it does have nVidia or AMD/ATi graphics, you probably still cant upgrade it. Almost all laptops with dedicated video, the graphics is still made into the motherboard.
That was very helpful! Thanks for posting this up!! I have a Vostro 1500 too and today it started to misbehave =( The power button won't turn the system on anymore. Luckily the Home button could still "Wake" the system up. Do you have any idea what's going on? Also I notice the Power button's blue light doesn't flash anymore too..
@pooolll111 Well I open it up and seems that it was the button'cover that's not making much contact with the power button. I basically taped 2 layers of scotch tape and that took care of it. I'd still need to apply abit of pressure to get the button pressed though. And I was wrong about the blue light! There wasn't any. I was dreaming I guess =P Thanks for your help! These vids are great!
@PhatPhunk I've never heard of that becoming a problem! If you want a more permanent fix, you might be able to buy a replacement cover, or glue a small piece of plastic to the underside of the button.
The Cylinder represents a hard drive platter from what I've read. Just some random info for you all, lol.

Have you got also a video, in which you repair a Dell Vostro 1500 with a broken LED Monitor?

@PhatPhunk That happened to me before my hard drive crashed. U might have to charge for 8 hours then it might work.
