  Ah.  The Latitude is Dell's business product line, and all the parts
are interchangeable by design.  I'm not much familiar with the
Inspiron.  Bummer.

Re: Looking for a laptop keyboard

2009-12-23 Thread Neil Schelly
Well, I've got a D-series laptop for parts at work.  It's motherboard
is shot, but I can part with the keyboard if you're interested, albeit
I need a nominal fee since it's my company's property.  I pulled it
out and confirmed that it's not the same U-shaped ribbon you've got.
If you want to try it out, and see if it's the same ribbon pinout at
least and will still reach, I can try to meet up with you.  I'm pretty
busy these next few days, obviously, but let me know if you're
interested.

Theres a catch. Many of the keyboards look the same on the top, but its
the ribbon that sets them apart. Mines has the "U" shape as shown at:

http://www.amazon.com/PWR-V-0511BIAS3-US-90-4D907-N01-9J-N6782-G01-20092860397/dp/B002OJA4L0

There are others that look the same but don't have the shape.

If there are no keyboards, I'm willing to take a system. ;-)

  Google says that translates to "Inspiron 1300".  Is that the correct model?

  Google for Inspiron 1300 in turn leads me to:

  If that's what you have: That looks like a Latitude D series
keyboard.  Any other Latitude D series (except the ultra-small D4x0
series) should have a compatible keyboard.  That should make your
search easier.

  Dell changes their internal parts around constantly.  (They
outsource everything, so any given part will come from whoever the
lowest bidder is that month.)  Hence the recommendation to look for a
Latitude D series.

  I only know this because we buy Dell at work.  Unfortunately, I
don't have any keyboards I can give away.

Looking for a laptop keyboard

2009-12-22 Thread Dan Miller
A friend has a laptop that the keyboard does not work correctly. I'm
looking at replacing the keyboard.

I would need a keyboard that fits a Dell PP21l. The current keyboard is

Model: NSK-D5G01
P/N 9J.N6782.G01

I know I can order online, but if possible would like to get this back
together soon. Does anyone have a spare keyboard that would fit or know
where I can get one?

Thanks!

Dan
