Keyboard including precision touchpad (PTP) / with DVD compartment
This keyboard is for models with optical drive (DVD) and with precision touchpad (PTP).
Within the same model series there are keyboards with and without optical drive (DVD) and with conventional touchpad (TP) or with precision touchpad (PTP). If the wrong choice is made, the keyboard will fit, but the touchpad will not be compatible with the model.
You can see whether your touchpad is equipped with PTP on a small white label on the touchpad with the note "PTP". If this label is missing, then it is a conventional touchpad.

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.
