X40 Replacement Keyboard

[mrnaz]

I have a nephew who thinks that my Mum's X40 looks better without about 15 of its keys. He also seems to think they taste good. As a result of his opinion in this matter, he proceeded to remove many keys from said laptop and suck on them until they were thoroughly soaked.

My disagreement with his culinary habits aside, I am now in need of a replacement X40 keyboard. The IBM repair center here charges ridiculous rates on new ones as well as quoting a one month wait time. I was hoping to be able to buy one second hand. Is there anywhere (I am in Australia) that could help me locate one? Alternatively, is there anyone here that could provide one?

Any help would be appreciated. Are the X41 keyboards compatible?

I didn't have much luck tracking one down in an online shop, but a guy on eBay has a bunch of them that he's selling. If you miss an auction, he'll probably post more later, just search for it.

I bought one from him, and it's set to arrive today. Very quick shipping.
