130 posts and you don´t know how to look for the FRU number in the hardware manual and then enter this number in IBM´s service url?

Here you find the Hardware Maintenance Manual:

15" or 14", use the same keyboard. Last time I looked, it was around $45, but I don't have a link.

I feel your pain. Just yesteday I was trying to find the price of a maintenance part for a T40 that I had the FRU for. The only thing I could find prices on were Accessories. I know in the past, before Lenovo, I could go to IBM's site and enter a maintenance FRU number to get to an order page with a price. I could not find this last night. There is likely a page for putting in maintenance FRU's to order parts, but it is definitely not easy to find. It is much easier to enter the FRU number in Google and search. You will find numerous suppliers of many new IBM parts. You can also do this on e-bay for new and used parts.

Been there too, sometimes on the IBM web site you can go in circles, one link leading you back to where you were four links ago. I never could find a good part # for a hard drive caddy for a T30. Luckily there is a local Laptop Shop. $5

This page works for the UK:

This page is supposed to be the corresponding one for the US, but it reports that standard US keyboard FRUs are unrecognized:

After reading your post Zeitgeist, I decided to try it with the part number I was looking for (13N5108). I pulled up 2 hits, but none from Lenovo (or IBM). If I Google the same part number I get quite a few more hits.
