    I've a toshiba portege R930 and I would like to change the keyboard layout. How can I find the part number and where can I buy it?
    Also, is there any other model with the same keyboard as the R930?

    The portege R830 may have the same keyboard as the R930 [my understanding is the R930 just has the updated Ivy Bridge technology]. If that is the case, a R830 keyboard may be easier to find.

    I also tried searching for a R930 keyboard at a well known part supplier: Epson, HP, Toshiba, Konica Minolta, Canon Parts & Accessories - National Parts Depot
    Although, they do in fact stock R930 items, I was unable to find the keyboard. Perhaps you will have better luck at finding it.

    If you do decide to go the R830 route, then I would also try this site: Laptop Parts & Repair - SparePartsWarehouse.com


    Good luck
