Is 15" T41 T42 keyboard interchangeable with t43?

#1 Post by andre#4 » Wed Feb 02, 2011 6:00 pm

Can I put a 15" t42 keyboard on a 15" t43? If they are compatible, it would seem I would be better off with the older model since older usually means better AND less expensive in our backwards postmodern corporate dictatorship we call society.

It shows one part for the t40 41 42 keyboards, and a different one for the t43 (ignoring the complexity of the fact that there were 3 different suppliers).

Are these differences so severe as to render the two incompatible?

There are NO 15" T40/p or T41/p keyboards, since all of these machines were available as 14" only.

The 15" keyboards are completely interchangeable between R50/e/p - R51/e - R52 - T42/p and T43/p.

SORRY I WAS MISREADING...THE PART $'s are the same!! THERE ARE SEPARATE CHARTS for the t43 but it has the same part #,s as the older chart with the older models.

That makes my whole question bogus.
