Looking to upgrade E4200 (Backlit Keyboard + Draft Mini Card)

Hello looking to upgrade my Dell Latitude E4200 >

Dell Backlit Keyboard
Intel® WiFi Link 5300 802.11a/g/n Draft Mini Card
Possibly, but not necessary (Finger Print Reader)

Where can I find those at the lowest possible price, direct links etc...
Please let me know thanks.

 

The keyboard and the 5300 can both be found on eBay, but the keyboard is expensive, and the 5300 is rare (since it needs to be half-height). The fingerprint reader requires a new palmrest, which isn't available on eBay. You can probably get all three from Dell; the keyboard may be cheaper, the 5300 won't be cheaper, and the palmrest will probably be expensive.

I'd say you should wait a little bit if you can; these parts should become cheaper and more widely available in a couple months.

 

Thanks !
The Backlit Keyboard, From Dell Canada Would Cost Me Around $90 to $100*
I found a good price for the 5300 on Ebay $39.99 US
So I will keep you posted after I buy it altogether in the coming weeks, & then we can tell the real price.

 

thats not bad in canadian though. Im sure if you wait a little while you can get it for about $60 or so but if you need it right away go for it.

 

Thanks Guys, But I think I will wait.

 

A keyboard can be just swapped out?

 

YES.

UPDATE: Just order the Intel® WiFi Link 5300 802.11a/g/n Draft Mini Card for about $35 CANADIAN with shipping. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=280326746193

Also next looking to upgrade my ram to 3GB + The Backlit Keyboard.

I will take pic of installing etc.

PS: I am selling my previous parts (1.0GB, DDR3-1066 SDRAM + Dell Wireless™ 1510 802.11a/g/n Mini Card) Let me know if any of you are interested, thanks.

 

Here is the installation pictures of the Dell Latitude E4200's Backlit Keyboard, since I got the keyboard first, we will start with it then the Intel® WiFi Link 5300 802.11a/g/n Draft Mini Card whenever I get it in my hand.

 

More Pictures.
Got a say the keyboard is much higher quality than before also has a nice feel to it, and less nosier.

 

So how hard was it to do?
