Keyboard including touchpad (TP) / without DVD tray
This keyboard is for models without an optical drive (DVD) and with a conventional touchpad.
Within the same model series, there are keyboards with and without an optical drive (DVD) and with a conventional touchpad (TP) or with a precision touchpad (PTP). If the wrong keyboard is selected, it could be that the identical keyboard fits but does not work.
When the keyboard is removed, there is a small white label on the underside of the keyboard, directly on the touchboard, to indicate whether it has a PTP. This label then says “PTP”. A photo of the underside and the touchboard is also helpful for us to identify the keyboard.
If it is not possible to remove the keyboard and the manufacturer number of the keyboard is not known,
for some models, we can also find out the required keyboard for your notebook from the model designation. Please state this model number when ordering.
Unfortunately, this s not possible for multiple reasons:
You can only install keyboards intended for the use in your model. So, when your current keyboard does not have a numpad you will not be able to install one with a numpad, since they would be too large. The same is true for keyboards with numpad, ones without numpad would then be too small.
However, there is the option to use an external numpad connected via USB.
Most countries have their own keyboard Layout. Usually the device has the layout of the country it has been bought in.
The English layout can be recognized by the first six Characters of the top row of letters. That's also why it is called QWERTY-layout, another common abbreviation for it would be ENG-layout.
There can be multiple reasons for its failure.
