Thinkpads Forum

Hi folks,
i bought a thinkpad t30 from my father. but now there is a problem, i cleaned today the keyboard and the middel mouse key is broken. Where can I buy a rechange?

hi
i live in germany....
cheers

Are you sure that the key is broken? Sometimes they come off, but with careful steady hands, you can put it back on....as they snap into place.

If you need to replace it, then you need to replace the entire keyboard, unless someone is selling just that key.

You can buy the entire keyboard from eBay or direct from IBM/Lenovo. Just check with your Hardware Maintenance Manualfor part numbers and how to remove/replace the keyboard.

Also, please update your profile to include Germany. Thanks!

thanks for reading.....

My Dad is working for IBM and he asked if the have a key exchange, but no, they said too that i have to buy the whole keyboard.
And I doesn't want to buy the whole keyboard... its to expensive.
so hope anyone will sell it for me.....

Yeah, IBM doesn't sell the individual keys. Someone on eBay or here might...maybe.

I'll move this thread to the Marketplace for youand change your subject line, so that you might get a response.

EDIT: I added the line about a cheap keyboard, just incase someone is willing to sell a broken or cheap keyboard to you.

thanks
but i posted at this moment a thopic to for a middle key......
delet, it please!
