    So can you replace the stock np9130 keyboard with the upgradable steel series keyboard for the np9150? I know the backlight won't work because the motherboard is missing the connector, but I am wondering since everything else is the same (size, dimensions, and motherboard) if this will work and remap the fn keys as well?

    I believe it's been mentioned before, and no it's not possible simply due to the fact that wirings are completely different.

    Too bad the np9130 seems to be the res haired step child of this model family. Can't upgrade it with anything.

    Thanks for the response.
