    Anyone know where I can buy one?
    If not, the serial/part number?
    Or how to put it on? :p

    My keyboard has some minor issues, and supposedly the backlit keyboard is sick. And cheap.

    You can get it through Dell. The backlit is nice, and is worth the $40 upgrade price that Dell charges on a new system. They'll probably charge you more for the part itself though. Maybe you can find a legit one through EBay but there are the usual issues of concern there.

    Dell no longer stocks it, but found a good reseller (based in USA>What? :O) on ebay, thanks.

    I got a refurb so backlit wasn't an option. It'll cost me $20 more, but I saved lots more than $20 by getting a refurb :D
