Automated telephone service for parts ? Localized KB

[marcos]

Please help with this, can't find this number anywhere in the Forum !

Neither parts nor support do know about it.

However I asked parts and they have the price but not in stock, should I place the order anyway and try to have expedited ?

The part is orderable on the UK website but it doesn't let me order for shipment ouside UK.

Searching on Lenovo's site for Support phone list had the following link for "Accessories and upgrades Keyboards, Memory, Mice, Storage, Wireless communications, and more" brought up the following phone number list. Hope it helps.

HI GJ,
This is a number that I've read about on this forum and perhaps is not much publicly given.
I tried it a month or so and was routed to a menu for automated part price information by menu. It worked well and was I able to pull part numbers for localized keyboards.
It is a great resource if you want to know a price before calling in the order.

Update ..
Mail bounces at the address given on IBM UK site ...

Telephone must be the good old way.

Does anyone have experience getting a localized ThinkPad KB delivered in the US? I'd like to get a Traditional Chinese KB, but haven't figured out how to order one in the US.

Tab,

get the number from the HMM manual or the part publication, online.

Call parts and ask to verify availability and price. If in stock, place order. The T43's KB cost is about $45.
