    I just bought 170EM with german keyboard and I want to switch to US keyboard.
    How difficult is to replace keyboard? Where I can purchase US keyboard?
    Plug and play or I must do something else during replacement?

    It's quite easy to replace the keyboard.
    1. (after removing all power sources)
    2. Pull up the wide cover where the power button is. keyboard_screws.jpg
    3. Unscrew the 5 silver bolts you see there.
    4. Pull the keyboard towards LCD and up but not too far.
    5. Disconnect the 2 ribbon cables carefully by undoing the clips first.
    Repeat in reverse for new keyboard
