Replace keyboard on T61...

Hi
Just bought a T61 in the US (nice price ;-), but I mostly work in UK and would like to replace the keyboard with a uk one...

Have looked around the parts list, etc. but I'm a little confused, so if someone could let me know what I need to get, that would be great.
Also, any recommendations on where to get it from... (official lenovo, reseller, ebay(?!?), or wherever!!)

My system config is:
6459CT CONFIGURED SYSTEM
43Y3426 SBB INTEL CORE2DUO PROC.T9300
42V8173 VBB MS WIN VISTA BUSSINESS 64
42V8472 SBB MS WIN VISTA BUSS.64 US EN
42V8288 SBB 15.4 WUXGA TFT
42X5976 SBB NVID QUA FX570M-256MB OPGL
41W2068 VBB 4GB PC2-5300 667MHZ 2DIMM
42V8195 SBB KEYBOARD US ENGLISH
42V8295 SBB UN(TRACKPOINT TOUCHPAD)
42X5227 SBB 200GB HDD,7200RPM,DISKENC
42V8193 SBB INTEL TURBO MEMORY 1GB
42V8172 SBB DVD REC.8XMAXDUAL LAY UB-S
42X0805 VBB PC CARDSLOT EX CARDSLOT
42V8177 SBB INT.WIRE.WIFI/LINK4965AGN
62P6054 VBB INTEGR.BLUETOOTH PAN
39T6651 SBB 9 CELL LI-ION BATTERY
39T6442 SBB COUNTRY PACK NORTH AMERICA
42X1524 SBB LP-US ENGLISH

The web page: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-68235
lists the part numbers.. I guess these are the relevant ones:
Language ALPS Chicony NMB
U.K. English 42T3233 42T3297 42T3167
U.S. English 42T3209 42T3273 42T3143

But the config shows 42V8195 for the keyboard....???

I hope someone can point me in the right direction!
Many thanks

 

All you need is the UK English keyboard. It is quite easy to do it. And after you are done I guess you can sell the US keyboard on EBay.

 

Thanks

Using ThinkPad Parts Lookup: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/s...=/partslookup/partsLookup.vm&sitestyle=lenovo

I managed to establish that my machine has 42T3273

So UK from same column is 42T3297...

Have ordered from a UK dealer ( http://www.microwarehouse.co.uk/catalogue/item/IBMKEY06)
whose shipping costs are lower than IBMs!!

HTH
