WTB - A20 series keyboard

[AssPenny]

Anyone got one hanging around?

I would also be interested in some old PC133 256mb modules (sodimm of course).

Thanks!

Tip-

A T2x series keyboard will work and they are readily available off eBay - matter of fact I just sold one on Saturday! The only T2x keyboard I have around right now would require you to swap the trackpoint from your old keyboard(but it is a Thai keyboard). PM me if you're interested.

If you have the old keyboard you can swap the bezel- it's a snap off and the T2x keyboards have the model # on the bezel.

kewl, thanks for the info.

Will the US T series keyboard work as a straight swap? Without have to change out the trackpoint?

Thanks!

yes, keyboard and trackpoint both are physically similar. same size. same shape. straight swap.

reason I posted as I did is I have a working Thai keyboard in cosmetically good condition (no worn letters on the keys) available, but the trackpoint has a problem where the cap cannot be attached easily.

so, to use that keyboard, you would likely want to swap the trackpoint assembly. of course, if you're replacing the keyboard because of a trackpoint problem that's not an option.

swapping/replacing the bezel is not required, it's purely a cosmetic consideration. The A2x bezel is matte and blank. the T2x bezel is shiny and has 'T2x' in approx. 12-14 point font on it. the location of the power button and the indicator lights is the same, so the bezel itself can be swapped.
