    I would have thought for sure that someone had to have tried this, but search yields nothing. I have the L502, but would really like to get the older style keyboard. From pictures it looks as though there are two tabs with holes in them at the top of the L501 keyboard (for screws possibly?) that don't exist on the newer one. I realize the newer one is held in mainly by two clips. Other than that one detail, they look identical from the back.

    Thanks in advance to anyone who has any input..
