Which keyboard manufacturer (Nordic keyboard)

#1 Post by noranalyst » Sun Oct 20, 2013 9:21 pm

It seems pan-Nordic keyboards are not included in this overview, so I thought I could post my question here in case anyone knows:

Is my keyboard, with FRU number 39T0953 (or 39T0983) an ALPS, Chicony or NMB keyboard?

According to this list: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product ... MIGR-66981
A 39T0983 is an NMB keyboard and described as: English, U.S. (International, with a Euro symbol)
The 39T0953 is not on the list.

Easy way to identify an NMB keyboard is the blue rubber cup below the key cap.

Another question in keyboard topic.
Are there distinguishing features in T500 keyboards.
I have got localized one (Russian) and it have # 42T3955. It works fine for T60 / T61. But i don't know who makes it.
Lenovo site have table with 3 columns for T500 keyboards, but thay dont name them (NMB, ALPS, etc)

Go to this post and compare your hinge mechanism to the pictures:

I seem to remember the T400 keyboard list also didn't include the mfg but by comparing the hinge & the FRU the columns decoded as alphabetical (Alps, Chicony, NMB)
X301 -- X201s -- X2faux1s -- X201 -- x230 -- T61 -- T60p -- T42p

Thanks 91011. It's like ALPS. But it means that table reversed XXX | YYY | ALPS.
