Changing X31 keyboard

#1 Post by dmccart » Wed Jun 09, 2004 6:21 pm

I'm looking at changing the keyboard of the X31 I'm looking to purchase.
I'm buying in Switzerland and have been told in this region they only get Swiss keyboards which is fair enough. I can get an english preload of the OS but the keyboard will be the swiss layout.

Is it simply a matter of slotting in the new keyboard. I'd imagine it is.
I found this page of parts

http://www-3.ibm.com/pc/support/site.ws ... MIGR-50025

The part I'm looking for is the english keyboard 08K5075.

My problem is where do I get this from. Do I have to get my machine serviced to get this. I tried the online site but it didn't recognise the part number with CRU or FRU or alone. Does anyone know where I could get my hands on this and what would it cost.
Thanks

Contact Bill (Bill@ThinkPads.com). He can order and send you a US keyboard (FRU: 08K5073). I think that's the fastest and safest way.
