Where to get a backlit keyboard for an M4400?

    I recently bought an M4400 from the Dell Outlet. Unfortunately, the one that had everything else I wanted didn't have the backlit keyboard. From looking at the service manual, it looks like a keyboard swap is pretty easy, but I can't find anywhere (including Dell Parts) to buy the actual keyboard (whose part numbers appear to be either G077C or 330-0825, depending on where you look).

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Talk to a Dell sales rep yet?

    Admittedly, I haven't. I just assumed that anything available would be available online. I also haven't had a huge amount of luck getting the sales reps to tell me anything that isn't already on the web site anyway. Is there a particular department to call for this sort of thing?

    I snagged one from Dell 2 days ago, was 50 bucks with shipping and tax.

    The Dell Spare Parts website, quite frankly, is crap. If you actually want to get anywhere, give them a call. They will be much more helpful.

    You could also look on ebay.
