Hi, so a while ago, I did the classic keyboard modification on my ThinkPad T530. However, I would like to get another keyboard because this one I’ve got has a few issues, and when I search for these FRUs on eBay (45N2211, 45N2141 and 45N2071) I only get results for ANSI US keyboards, and I would like to get an ISO keyboard, but I don’t know what the FRUs of genuine ISO keyboards for an xx20 ThinkPad could be. Could anyone help me out on this? I would like a Chicony or NMB keyboard. Thanks in advance and have a happy new year.

    Thank you for the list, although I’m looking for a ThinkPad T420 keyboard to perform the classic keyboard mod on my ThinkPad T530… does this website also have a list of the official FRU numbers for the ThinkPad T420? Also, by ISO keyboard (the keyboards that are commonly seen in Europe), I mean the keyboards that have a left Shift key that’s smaller than the one at the right and an enter key that is an upside-down L shape, and an ANSI keyboard (the keyboards that are commonly seen in the USA) has an enter key that is a wide rectangle and both Shift keys have the same size. I’m not the best at explaining this, so have a look at two pictures I’m going to link to right here:

    ANSI keyboard

    ISO keyboard

    And here’s a whole page that explains everything about ANSI keyboards and ISO keyboards

    Edit: I didn’t know about this thinkpads.org page before, and they have FRUs for most (if not all) ThinkPads, and I easily found the FRU catalog for the T420 there. There’s no need for you to be searching for the T420 FRU catalog for me, thank you.
