    Hi...
    I have an m9700 alienware laptop. I don't know all of the specs because I got it from a friend months ago, but I spilled something on it and it fried the keyboard. I have tried every method imaginable to clean the keyboard but have had no luck, and I cannot find a replacement keyboard anywhere.
    I have been using an external keyboard which is working fine, but the problem is, one of the keys that doesn't work is the "brightness" key. Unfortunately, the "dimmer" key works fine. Therefore, my laptop is only readable after the sun has gone down or in a dark room. This doesn't work very well with my photo editing job.
    I have called Dell/Alienware and apparently these keyboards don't exist anymore? No one is selling them online either, except for one person I found on this forum, and I found it too late. So, I'm asking, pleading, begging, please does anyone know where I can find an m9700 or m9750 keyboard for my laptop? Please? :(

    They are still available from Alienware. I ordered one last week :)
    They will however have difficulty finding it on there system if you still have your original invoice find the part name and they'll be able to order it for you. For the UK One it was "Aurora M9700/M9750 Keypad UK" I would presume for the US it is just US instead of UK but dont quote me on that ;)
