Dell Inspiron 1501 keyboard replacement question.

    Hey guys,

    I have decided to revive my old lappy and need to buy a replacement keyboard for it and what not.

    The question I have is that is there any difference between my buying a arabic/greek/whatever keyboard replacement and just swapping the physical key covers from my broken laptop keyboard or buying a specific uk keyboard?

    The reason I ask is that the price diference on ebay is a bit different between the two and if possible I would like to buy the foreign keyboard, swap my keys the tell the comp that its a UK keyboard layout.

    Any advice would be appriciated!

    Thanks.

    I don't know if the keys on the Arabic keyboard are in the same locations as the UK version, for example the Enter key on the US keyboard is smaller than the UK one so you couldn't just swap the keys in that case. If the keys are all in the same locations then you could swap the keys with a bit of time and patience.

    You can specify any layout you want in the OS, it doesn't have to correspond with the keyboard's physical layout.

    Thanks mate, aye the estonian one is the exact same layout looking at the pictures and I have the keys .. the difference is 3pound compaired to 13pound, just have to wait an extra few days for it to come.

    After postage and all its about 10 euro cheaper and god knows I like keeping my money as much as possible ;)

    Cheers!
