Hello I could use some help I have a dell inspiron 1545 that has been having issues with finding any boot devices so I took it apart and seen that a little chip is missing if anyone could help with telling me where to get a new chip it would be very helpful. I found this picture online of my mobo I marked the chip that is missing. http://i65.tinypic.com/2modqa8.jpg

Looks like it might be any number of things, but without the exact model number (too hard to read in that image) can't say anything for certain. If you know the model, look it up on digikey and mouser, and if you're good with soldering surface mount then you might be able to repair it yourself. If it's still in warranty though, do NOT try anything
Well the laptop is a dell inspiron 1545 the little number beside the chip is C461 I found a pdf schematic of the mobo but I can't make heads or tales of it http://www.alexlaptoprepair.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/DELL_Inspiron_1545_-_WISTRON_ROBERTS_DISCRETE_-_REV_-1Sec.pdf
