Porteus

The next item I'm doing now on that Laptop is install a Webcam in it. I order a internal DELL INSPIRON 1525 15.4" WEBCAM WEB CAMERA W/ CABLE M143C 50.4W002.203 and the DELL INSPIRON 1525 15.4" LAPTOP LCD SCREEN FRONT BEZEL TRIM 0XT981 SILVER. I hope it as easy as the Bluetooth I install.

Work I did so far or going to is this.
What I did so far I went from 1GB of ram to 4GB of ram.
Then I install the Bluetooth.
Then I'm going to do the Webcam next.
And last if I can is the CPU going from a Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 550 @ 2.00GHz to a Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T8100 3M Cache 2.10 GHz 800 MHz FSB Mobile SLAYP or a Intel Core 2 Duo T8300 SLAPA SLAYQ 2.4 GHZ 3MB 800MHZ Socket P Processor. To do this I don''t even have to take the Laptop apart all I have to do is take a panel off the bottom of the Laptop.

One thing I know is how to work on Computer but one thing I don't know much about is Linux.

Well I got the Webcam installed and working on Cheese module. And later today the CPU will get install. I receive the CPU in the mail today.

I just install the CPU and I put in a T8100 and it less then 15min to do. Now it should work and a lot better the before.

Thanks for providing this useful info.

@ francois, For this free Laptop I didn't care to spend some money on it. It wasn't a lot it was worth it. Here is a brake down.

1. Power supply and Battery but didn't need the battery old one was OK.
2. Memory from 1 GB to 4GB
3. Bluetooth
4. Webcam and Bezel Trim for webcam
5. CPU and CPU Paste

All of that for under $50.00

I can't believe how better it works or run it was worth it and the money.
