Replace W520 keyboard backlit W530 keyboard?

Is it possible to replace the keyboard on a W520 with an equivalent, backlit W530 keyboard?

It is not possible to make a direct hardware replacement. The bezel is different and the keyboard scan codes (which are supported by the BIOS) are different on keyboards.

  • Replacement of keyboard W530?

    Hello!

    I'm a thinkpad user first. I received my W530 yesterday, and I'm very happy with it. There's a thing with the keyboard I took the wrong layout. Unfortunately I don't have enough money to buy a new keyboard backlit with the provision of the United States (mine is now NL, Dutch). Is it possible that I can get the keyboard replaced or refer to lenovo for a replacement keyboard? It is a real disappointment and a stupid mistake. Seize this moment is horrible. I searched in all areas and has seen a few posts on call services from IBM and others.

    Any tips? Thank you!

    (Sorry for posting this in the wrong Board, as appropriate)

    EDIT: If it's important, I can replace the keyboard myself if necessary.

    AFAIK, the service does not replace keyboard according to the language preferences. that is changing layout from one language to the other.

    You would have to the source of the keyboard also.

    Hello

    This series of computers portable your (and many others) have only 1 option for keyboard:

    Full-size, island-keyboard with numeric pad in black or white finish. Gesture of support: MultiTouch gestures
    activated, two fingers to scroll and pinchzoom as default
    Faucets, active by default
    Support for Windows 8 modern trackpad

    Therefore, you can not replace the keyboard only, you must also replace the motherboard that supports a backlit keyboard. If necessary, it would be a very expensive upgrade.

    Kind regards.

    The only keyboard won't work. You need the motherboard on your machine a light CONNECTORS for the keyboard. I do not think that your computer has this type of motherboard you are looking for a good first montherboard.

  • Replacement of keyboard satellite A10

    Can someone tell me how to reach, and where to find out how, remove and replace the keyboard on my Satellite pro A10?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello Jim

    There is no public document with precise description. I put t know how old is your device, but please be careful with the guarantee.

    In any case if you want to swap the keyboard, you must remove the plastic part on the back of the keyboard. Be careful, how you do it. If the plastic part is removed, you can see the screw that the difficulty of the keyboard. Removing the work is already done. The last thing is to disconnect the keyboard.

    As I said to be careful and I hope that you will not damage a few other components.

    Good luck!

    Hello

    Your warranty is valid?
    In this case contact the ASP in your country to replace the kneeboard, since this would be covered by the guarantee and he would be free of charge.

    As far as I know the keyboard replacement procedure is the same as for Portege R700 series
    It s difficult because you will need to remove the other parts like the
    Battery, sim card, express card slot, modules of memory, base Assembly to gain access to a
    Ribbon of aluminum on the back of the lid Assembly. Then you could cut the lid Assembly face to the top and peel the keyboard joined the insulator.
    And also you can not use the keyboard removed and isolator keyboard again. You will need to use new parts.

    Hi all
    Happy new year to all. I need to replace my keyboard because of lost keys. Anyone know where I can get a manual that shows how to do this? Congratulations in advance.

    Concerning
    Dave

    Hello

    Well, I don t found any documents concerning the keyboard replacement procedure.
    But as far as I know to remove the keyboard, you must first remove the battery. You need to remove a strip that is placed at the top of the keyboard.
    You will find 2 screws which fix the keyboard. Remove the screws, then lift the keyboard and unplug the cable.

    Please note: If you open Notepad (keyboard) you will lose the warranty! In this case, you must contact the ASP. Be careful.

    Good bye
