Thinkpad T520 and older keyboard

#1 Post by adrlopz » Fri Mar 15, 2013 4:54 pm

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! :)

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).
