Need a keyboard for a laptop

[RichP]

Got a sony PCG-F580, needs a keyboard and it's not worth spending $85 for one online, any of you got one sitting in the junk pile they could send to me.

I can check tomorow morning how much it might be through one of the venders we deal with and hopefully I will be able to get you one in reletively cheaply. I'd probobly say somthing like that would be around $40. I'll let ya know.

I checked today for ya rich, the price was horrible from both of my venders. Preowned wanted about $100 for it and Vance wanted about $90. Sorry. Get it online from that place if you can.

Not going to bother, between a new battery and new keyboard I'm looking at around $200, for a P3 500mhz, screw that, I can get an acer turon for $599 or really bite the bullet and get another IBM Thinkpad like I got my daughter last month. Guess I'll see if anybody wants the LCD, case and everything else to help 'defray costs' of the new one..

Did I mention, I freaking hate laptops for just that reason...

You might try laptopparts.com

If they are still around, I got a screen from them years sgo.

Also check if you have any state surplus places nearby, some of their "scrap" laptops go cheap for parts.....

which chassis is that one built on rich, I've got an older duron 800 Sony notebook that I'd like to have some spareparts for, inverter and such.

Not a clue, I don't get involved in laptops much, maybe another of the ones here will go with a lcd failure or something in which case I can grab a keyboard from that maybe. I would like one for myself, my own, not a company one. I'll probably pick up another T60

This is the one.
