    I have the standard keyboard and I've discovered that a lighted keyboard would best suite my needs.

    My CF29 is the MK5 model and I believe I need the keyboard that uses 3 connectors, I'm not sure on that though. I took the laptop apart and found 4 connectors on the keyboard PCB they are CN931,CN932,CN933, and CN934.

    So if anyone has a keyboard that will fit this laptop feel free to reply, or PM. Thanks.

    Anybody got a emissive, non-rubber style, keyboard for a CF-29 MK5 model, with 3 keyboard connectors.

    Ok JB, let me know when you have them.

    Sorry Matt I have no doubt that is a good keyboard ,but I really don't feel like paying international shipping.

    Are you looking for the rubber sealed & illuminated or the emissive chicklet type?
