    Hi All,

    I was wondering if anyone can recommend an online shop to buy laptop parts, for example keyboards, batteries, memory etc.

    What I am mainly aiming for is KEYBOARD, I've bought my Fujitsu in Japan and though I might want to try the japanese keyboard with a US keyboard.

    I've got the T70GU Spring Edition.

    Thanks,

    Ryo

    eBay is a great place to look for all these parts, just look for an eBay seller with a high rating and lots of feedback.

    Realize that laptops are not as interchangeable with their parts as a desktop computer though, they're often made based on a specific configuration.

    Funny, I've just been involved in the same search. Trying to do some cosmetic repairs and replace a keyboard for a Sony XG-500. I stumbled across impactcomputers.com yesterday. Their prices are a little steep, but it looks like they have just about everything, right down to the system boards.
