    usually very simple to change. dell have very detailed service manuals online with step by step instructions.

    You would fit a key board in an Inspiron 1501 in 5 min. The keyboard is often required to come out to get at many other components such as to replace the CD/DVD rw, and sometimes the motherboard battery.
