X100e keyboard broken! Which maintenance part to choose? Help!!

well this is unfortunate..
after i spilt water on my macbook and broke the keyboard, i bought a x100e as an emergency replacement a week ago.
then.. i spilt water on my x100e again. =[
now i think the keyboard, along with its logic board, are broken, as well as the keycaps of "," and "." key (i broke them when trying to fix the problem). 
I get a error 0210:stuck key message on the boot screen every time i boot up the x100e.
so I think I am going to fix this issue by myself since it will take too long if I send my x100e to the service station, and also save some $$$$
However, when i try to buy the keyboard part for x100e on the lenovo website, i come across 2 different selection for U.S keyboard.
One FRU is 45N2971, costs $67, the other one is 60Y9366, costs $77. 
I couldn't find the difference between the two since there is no description on
both of them.
Do I need both or one of them? anyone? Thank you very much!!
Solved!

Hi factorlin, and welcome to the Lenovo User Community!
There are usually at least two keyboard manufacturers for each ThinkPad, and that's what the two part numbers represent.
Not sure why the $10 price difference!
If you want to the exact keyboard you have now, I suggest removing it to read the part number. The Hardware Maintenance Manual and service training videos describe how.
Hope this helps!
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

  • HT1386 i want to sync from my ipod to a new library but ipod recognises that content is already held in another library (on an external drive, now broken which i cannot access). Help?

    help needed please.  I haven't used my ipod for some time - my library content is stored on an external hard drive, which i also haven't used for some time.  now that i have an ipad i wanted to sync everything but the external drive is broken.  i have uploaded and updated all software for ipod/itunes onto my laptop but the programme is recognising that i have a library elsewhere and will only allow me to update from laptop to ipod (which would delete all my music). Can anyone suggest a way around this?  many thanks!

  • X220 keyboard - broken middle trackpoint button

    The middle trackpoint button of my keyboard stopped to work (it has to be pressed very hard). I took picture of it showing what exactly was broken.
    Notice that the black plastic part got separated from the base metal plate causing the middle button stopped to work.I just want to share it because it might be a quality issue.
    I contacted local Lenovo service and got a new keyboard replacement. Unfortunately it is different (compatible) part number. The new keyboard 45N2219 has much more soft feel than the old one 45N2149 

    Yes, I feel it is well. Moreover there are noticeable differences in X220 keyboard FRUs.
    My original X220 keyboard 45N2149 was nearly as perfect as the best ever one - X31 keyboard. Unfortunately the middle trackpoint button stopped to work in few days (see pictures here http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X220-keyboard-broken-middle-trackpoint-button/... ) that I got replacement from Lenovo, but different FRU 45N2219.
    The new 45N2219 keyboard:
    - is softer than original one
    - the trackpoint button sticks out above the keyboard buttons caps way too much and can not be pushed back down. This is probably source of the unpleasant trackpoint feel.
    - is noisier than original one
    - Backspace and Return (big square one shaped) keys started to make horrible squeaky noises in few hours. Lenovo refused to replace the keyboard again because of this so I decided to fix it myself. I poped off both keys and found that the hinge points weren't greased at all. I put missing teflon-based grease to both keys.
    - key caps does not seem to be perfectly attached to the key mechanism so they have a "flying" feel when you are pressing the key cap
    I would rather have the old keyboard FRU than this one. If I had known that there are such differences in X220 keyboards I would rather try to live with broken trackpoint middle button.
    I still think about buying a new keyboard because there is a local service parts reseller that is able to deliver the exact keyboard FRU you want. On the other hand I feel a bit stupid of doing this considering I've paid for 4 yrs + Protection warranty upgrade ...

  • Is there dvd software out there that allows you to create a dvd menu in which the viewer can choose to play different sequences of the videos offered?

    Is there dvd software out there that allows you to create a dvd menu in which the viewer can choose to play different sequences of the videos offered? It was described to me as a dvd matrix menu but I can't find anything like it for mac. The idea is that there are multiple videos on the dvd menu and you can choose to play "video A, then B, then C" or "video B, then C, then A", etc, in different orders each time. And it would play the sequence that you choose.

    I think that's on the right track but I'm wanting something that allows the viewer to choose the sequence when they're looking at the DVD menu. I only see how the creator of the DVD can make different sequences. It's a yoga tutorial DVD and we are wanting the viewer to be able to pick a sequence from the menu items as such: pick one of the 3 warm-up videos, then pick one of the 2 yoga practices and then pick 1 of the 3 cool-down videos and then the dvd will play the sequence of selected warm up, practice, then cool down. And it can be differently chosen every time the viewer uses the menu.
    You can do this on a DVD with DVD Studio Pro.
    DVD's have some very basic storage called SPRM/GPRM scripting IIRC.
    There are a few tutorials around for DVDSP…
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/dvd_language_nattress.html
    http://www.digitalproducer.com/article/DVD-Studio-Pro-Scripting-Part-4-28784
    You use scripts to set values that are stored in a tiny amount of memory on the player & then have to use additional scripts to respond to the values set, so that at the end of a sequence it will jump to the one a user previously chosen.
    Some things to consider…
    DVD's have limits on the number of chapters & titles, you need to plan around that.
    Some DVD players are terrible to navigate, the settings that a user selects will be forgotten when the player is powered off. Users will need to make the choices over & over, every time they use the DVD (computers may remember it - I haven't tested this in years).
    You will also need to setup many variations of menus to be able to indicate what selections they chose.
    It is not a trivial task, you may want to hire a programmer to set it all up.
    Testing is also a lot of work - too many combinations can quickly cause issues for testing, different players can also do odd things too.
    I have used scripting for basic, 'play all' or 'play chapter' menus where the video is encoded once on the DVD & the scripts will either play through, or simply play a chapter & return to the same menu.
    You may find that it would be better to invest in setting up a website with this. On a custom site it would be possible for users to save a playlist or several, they can also share playlists etc, it would be more flexible & usable IMO.
    See roaring apps for info on others who have used DVD Studio Pro with various OS's…
    http://roaringapps.com/app/dvd-studio-pro …it looks like 10.8 may be the last OS to work correctly with DVDSP.
    Other DVD authoring apps may be able to do GPRM scripting too, but you will have to search for them.
    I think the registers are part of the DVD spec, so devices should support them, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-Video

  • Which spare part do I need?

    Hi all,
    Have just broken my iPod touch 4th gen white. The screen is smashed up pretty bad but the iPod still works absolutely fine. Which spare part should I be looking for? LCD screen? Digitizer? Glass? I haven't a clue what to look for if I'm honest. The spares on eBay mostly say "Digitizer replacement, not LCD screen".
    Thanks.

    From the teardown of the 4G iPod the screen is one assembly:
    Use this guide to replace your front panel assembly. The front panel is not separable from the LCD. A new front panel assembly will give you a new front glass panel, digitizer, and LCD.
    Here is the part.

  • For the picture quality which one i should choose, canon 700d or 60d??

    Hey guys, im planning to buy a camera...
    because i'm not have so much money so i'm interested at 2 models.... EOS 60D and EOS 700D
    60D are old one than 700D... If i want a better picture which camera I should choose??
    I usually shooting at JPEG mode....
    And if I saw the spec the processor are quietly different (DIGIC 5 on 600D and DIGIC 4 on 60D), is the processor affect very much on the picture quality.....
    and my notes, i dont like to buy twice so I would buy for the best....... thanks guys....
    ---HarrY---

    The 700D has more "gee wiz" features (touch-screen, etc.)   But the 700D is more of an "entry" range body and the 60D is a "mid-range" body (Canon has entry level bodies, mid-level bodies, and pro-level bodies.)  
    On a "pro" and "mid-range" body, the body has two dials... one just behind the shutter button and the other on the back of the body.  These are strategically located so that when shooting in manual mode, you can put your index finger on the front wheel (usually to adjust shutter speed) and you can but your thumb on the rear-dial (usually to adjust aperture/f-stop).  This allows for fairly rapid use in manual mode without needing to take your eye away from the viewfinder.  
    The 60D has that layout (more like a pro body).  The 700D does not.  
    The imaging senssors on those two bodies are actually the same generation (both use Canon's 18MP sensor).  You wont actually see any significant difference in image quality between the two bodies.
    The 60D is "weather sealed" (I put that in quotes because you should NOT confuse this for meaning it is water-proof.  It is not waterproof ... do not submerge it.  That would be very bad.)  Weather sealed means that openings in the body for buttons and dials and body seams all have gaskets or o-rings which are generally regarded as being good enough to seal out water or dust as long as it's not under any pressure.  If you get caught in the rain... not a big deal.  Just towel it off (do not open the body until you towel it off... it's obviously not sealed when doors are open or your lens is removed.)  Many of Canon's "L" series lenses (not all of them) are also weather sealed.  So keep in mind that while the body may be sealed and able to deal with some rain... the lens may not necessarily be able to deal with some rain.  
    DIGIC V does have better JPEG processing than DIGIC IV... although you may not necessarily be able to notice the difference.
    I've seen (and so have you) stunningly gorgeous images coming from very old and very basic DSLR bodies.  The largest difference in image quality will be you... your skill.  Buying a Canon 1D-X flagship body will not ensure your images look fantastic no more than buying a Steinway concert grand piano will help you play beautiful music... if you never learned to play a piano.  You ultimately have to learn photography, exposure, and how to take advantage of your camera.
    If you plan to learn to shoot in manual mode, you will likely prefer the control and ergonomic layout that the 60D offers.  If you prefer to shoot in automatic, semi-automatic, or scene modes, then you will likely prefer the 700D.

  • Which one I should choose ?

    I'm a beginner and I have no idear which one I should choose:JB5.0,VJ++ or anyone else.I'm looking foward some suggestions about it.
    Thank for your help.

    I��ve seen the suggestions of willright,morgalr,DrClap, and jsalonen. Thank for your helps. I��ve also heard some evaluations about VJ++ as DrClap said, and it doesn��t matter whether it��s free or not, but now I maintain JB is more suitable cause I think JDK��s form Sun are difficult to understand. I��m not so bright that I like visual platform and I��ll go to see the Forte you advised. Thank you very much!

  • Which imac should i choose?

    I have the option between 2 imacs, and i would really like some opinions on which one to purchase, both prices for both imacs are the same. (About $1700)  I'm a college student, who uses final cut pro a lot for videos, and i am also a gamer, so i will be playing games on my mac as well. 
    Option 1:
    * The standard 21 inch 2.9 GHZ, Nvidea Geforce GT 750m, with ONE of the following: a Fusion Drive, 16G Ram, or the i7 Processor. ( I cant afford all 3, so if this is a better option, please tell me which one i should choose)
    Option 2:
    * The 27 inch, 3.2 GHZ, Nvidea Geforce GT 675m.
    To sum it up, option one has a better Nvidea, and i can choose one of the 3 accesories, while option 2 is a larger screen, and a higher GHZ.
    Im guessing option one is better?

    Hello,
    My personal choice would be option 2.
    You can purchase extra ram from a reputable supplier far cheaper than adding it to your order, I have just 10 minutes ago upgraded my 8gb to 16gb for £70.00. It is very easy to do.
    Option 1 no user upgrade possible.
    RAM over CPU speed every time for me.
    27' loads of screen to work with.
    Conclusion: Buy base 27" and spend you money on third party ram, do not forget to factor in the cost of a backup harddrive.
    hope this helps.

    hi, i got Macbook Pro 2007, OS X 10.5.8, I would like to update my system, which one I should choose? tks

    Mountain Lion is the current version of the latest OS, with Mavericks coming this fall.
    However, I would suggest that you simply upgrade to Snow Leopard -> http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard. It's a very good, very fast OS and, best of all, it can still run those PPC apps that you may be using.

  • Adobe Extension signing - which platform should I choose?

    1. I created Adobe Extension using Extension Builder 3  (HTML5 Extension) for Photoshop CC.
    2. I want to buy Code Signing Certificate for it.
    On this site for example https://www.globalsign.com/code-signing/ I have to choose "Platform" form "Supported Platforms" list.
    On that site such list looks like this:
    MS Autheticode
    Adobe AIR
    Apple
    Mozilla & Netscape
    MS Office & VBA
    Java
    Which platform should I choose to sign adobe extension?
    Maybe it does not matter which one?

    illustrator is the one which needs higher components as the other programms, right?
    No, Photoshop is, assuming you are speaking of CS4 and are concerned about hardware accelerated features like the soft zoom or 3D features in PS Extended. Those only work with NVidia or ATI cards. If you can live without those features, it doesn't matter which system you get. The only critical factor then becomes RAM - the more, the better. One word of warning on the way: Make sure, your laptop supports the minimum system requirements in terms of screen resolution. If not, you may not even be able to install the software let alone use it.

  • Calling subscreen which is part of tabstrip control

    I am trying to call a subscreen which is part of a tab control, but i keep getting the error message:  "." or "ID....FIELD..." expected after SUBSCREEN.  Here is the code: 
    CALL SUBSCREEN tab2 including zd_tabstrip 102.
    What is my mistake?

    CALL SUBSCREEN....... statement will not work inside any module. So, you need to set the screen number and than you have to set the subscreen with that screen.
    Try like:
    In your code:
    CASE ok_code.
    WHEN 'EDIT'.
    CLEAR ok_code.
    LOOP AT itab INTO wa_itab.
    IF wa_itab-mark = 'X'.
    SELECT SINGLE * FROM zdstats WHERE zplayer = wa_itab-zplayer.
    W_DYNNR = '0102'.
    ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
    endcase.
    In your flow logic:
    PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
      CALL SUBSCREEN tab2 including zd_tabstrip W_DYNNR.
    PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
      CALL SUBSCREEN tab2.
