    Hey guys,

    I just bought an Envy 4-1030ca here in Canada. I'm looking to replace the Canadian/French bilingual keyboard with a backlit US standard layout keyboard.

    Does anybody know where I can find the part number for that particular type of keyboard for this model laptop?

    Thanks!

    That's *exactly* what I was looking for! Thanks a lot man!

    I wonder what the 'black/silver' finish looks like.

    I'm having some trouble sourcing the part I need. Does anybody know where I can buy Keyboard Spare Kit part # 687009–001 in Canada? This part is the 'Backlit keyboard in black finish' style.
