[W541] In search of a keyboard

[WarMachine]

Hello,

Long time no see ! My collection grows and grows and grows and I will in a matter of days receive a W541. As it's a polish unit, it doesn't have the french keyboard I usually have on my computers. I was looking for a backlit french keyboard but it seems it's a unicorn. I don't even have a keyboard like that mentionned on Lenovo parts lookup. Only the non-backlit version and two french canadian keyboards.

I don't see why such a keyboard wouldn't exist and I wondered if you would know what is the FRU part of this very keyboard.

Thank you !

W.

Wonderful, thank you RBS;

It was the exact documents I was searching for (all these references where written in the HMM for the W520 and the W530 for example but it wasn't the same anymore for the W54x).

I've done au quick search and it seems there are not a lot of those keyboards sold. Well, I'm patient, I'll look furthera bitof everywhere to see what I can find (even perhaps a defect and complete unit if I don't find the keyboard alone).

Have a good day !
