Anyone have a spare W key for a t61p?

#1 Post by moijk » Fri Jul 21, 2017 7:33 am

Anyone have a spare W key for a t61p? I had a little vacuuming accident. I could of course blame a maid, the kids or anyone else, but it was all me. ;) (just state your price)

Why cant you fish out the W key and reattach it? Is the "scissor" pieces broken or just the keycap?

You'll need to say if that KB is made by NMB, Alps or Chicony, since they all have different mechanisms and keys.

PM with your address if you can figure out how to do it, I have spare keyboards lying around, I'll pop a w key and send it to you.

Got an otherwise dead but keys intact 42T3209 FRU sitting in my desk drawer from a replacement several years ago. If its the kind you need happy to send you as many keys as you want.

Structures look like this:

I guess nobody noticed moijk is from NORWAY, Europe ;)

Just check which KB tyle you have, I will send you the missing cap. You can check that by Shipping from Poland costs around 1,5Euro. The key itself costs a thank-you ;)

Here's how you can find out which one is it:

Country is unimportant, keyboard MANUFACTURER is important! Choice of THREE different ones!

Well, this should help with finding the manufacturer:

AFAIK The X200 keyboard and T60 keyboard are almost identical.

I was rather thinking about shipping costs and time ;)
