Looking for X201 Keyboard

#1 Post by S-C-3-1-3 » Tue Dec 02, 2014 2:32 pm

Hi, all,

After using my X201 tablet with its Space key missing for several months, the silicon dome has torn, which makes typing incredibly difficult. I have been staying on campus late to write my term papers, which I hate doing.

As a student, I cannot afford the outrageous price IBM wants, and am unsure I want to purchase an OEM keyboard manufactured overseas.

Does anyone have an X201 keyboard they could spare to help out? The FRU I have is 42T3737.

I live in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada.

Cheers,

Ian

Did you even READ there what you receive, if you order from them? (Hint: grey box)

Thank you, but I want a keyboard, not replace its key. Does anyone have a 42T3737 FRU keyboard for sale?

FWIW I am having a difficult time finding one as well. I have messaged a seller on Feebay twice for more specifics however they have not responded. The listings that do have photos with P/N 42T3737 are much too expensive imo. I will just have to wait for a more palatable asking price to appear.

Keep in mind that the keyboards are identical for x200, x200s, x201, x201s.
