    So guys I am not entirely sure where I can get a replacement. My current keyboard has a few problems. My D key seems to get stuck and it also takes a bit more muscle for It to register. My S key is also starting to do this.
    So I thought why not just replace it.
    My current keyboard is backlit and I would like the replacement to be
    Backlit as well. Only if the keyboard is affordable. But if there is a keyboard for less that isn't backlit it is completely fine.

    Check eBay, but those keyboards are getting a bit hard to find.

    eBay has keyboards but they aren't backlit so I'm wondering I they will still work. Since the comp has 2 ribbon cables. 1 for the backlight and the other for the actual keys.

    Well, it does seem like they're getting pretty hard to find, even if they aren't backlit, as long as the pin arrangement on the ZIF cable is the same, the keyboard will work.
