    Does anyone know if it's possible to replace the keyboard on an X230t (Tablet) with the backlit version?

    I know the keyboard can be removed. What I am trying to understand is if it's as simple as just ordering a replacement keyboard and installing it? If it is that simple - any guidance around how to order the replacement keyboard would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    the backlit keyboard is a drop in swap.

    Thanks lead_org. That's what I figured. Any guidance about how to order the new keyboard. If there is a wiki somewhere that explains all of this I would be a happy to do some reading on my own.

    The part numbers are 04W3137 and 04W3063. You can of course call Lenovo and order one. There's some on eBay too, but it looks they're expensive.
