Hi! I want to replace my AZERTY keyboard with a spanish one, but i cannot find one cheap, so do you know if the older from the T500 series will work?

Exactly this one: http://www.ebay.es/itm/281078227129?ssP ... 500wt_1414

The power button and the sound button are differents (mine has a led light),

P.S. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T520 4243-GF7

Best regards! :)

T510 and T520 keyboards are the same.

T500 keyboard is different and not compatible. It is compatible to older T series - T60/T61.

Yes, it's wrong, because the seller's description is wrong. He lists it as supported on both types of models, but the pictures show it to be an old style keyboard (no large Esc/Del keys).
