Keyboard Replacement

[ResidentG33k]

So my backspace key finally broke =( so i wanna buy a new/used keyboard off Ebay, what model keyboard would I need? I tried a keyboard from a T40 (P/N: 08k4957/FRU-08K4986) and tried to replace the key, but keyboard on that one was different then the one I have. Can anyone help me figure out which keyboard I'd need?

The type of T41 I have can be found in my Sig.

The part #'s are at the following link.

Look under 14" T41 LCD's and select a keyboard part for your preferred language. NMB keyboards are widely considered better.

As an example, 08K5044 is the part # for a US English 14" NMB Keyboard.

Here is an EBay search for that same part#

As a side note the same keyboard fits 14" T40 T41 T42 T43 R50 R51 R52 ... so don't be thrown by that. Just look for the part #.

All the 14" from T4x and R5x machines will fit. I have some I have been selling. If you are interested, send me a PM.

There is (was) a guy selling individual keys on e-bay with replacement instructions. I'd try this first.
