Where to buy German keyboard in the US?

[DirkM]

IBM used to sell parts online but since Lenovo took over they seem to only carry US parts anymore. Anybody know where to get a German keyboard for the T42 in the US?

Thanks,
Dirk

T4x keyboard FRU's are found at Keyboard service parts - ThinkPad T40/p, T41/p, T42/p - and beware that there are 14.1" keuboards and 15" keyboards - and they are NOT interchangable.

If you search (using Google) for e.g. 08K5048 (the 14.1" NMB), many hits pop up - incl. Street Prices - IBM 08K5048. My suggestion: Google around a bit, or try the German ThinkPads forum: German Thinkpad's forum; maybe some kind fellow will sell/ship one to the USA?

Also, consider posting a "WTB" (Want To Buy) advertisement at the Marketplace on this forum - there are no doubt many Germans keeping an eye at that page also!
