Re: Looking for a laptop keyboard
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. -N On Tue, Dec 22, 2009 at 9:37 PM, Dan Miller rambi@gmail.com wrote: On 12/22/09 21:18, Ben Scott wrote: On Tue, Dec 22, 2009 at 8:07 PM, Dan Miller rambi@gmail.com wrote: I would need a keyboard that fits a Dell PP21l.

That should make your search easier. Theres a catch. Many of the keyboards look the same on the top, but its the ribbon that sets them apart.

If there are no keyboards, I'm willing to take a system. ;-) Dan ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/ ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

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. -- Ben ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

The current keyboard is Model: NSK-D5G01 P/N 9J.N6782.G01 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. -- Ben ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
