    Hey everyone, I've got a laptop coming to me and its a Toshiba Satellite Pro L650 - Toshiba Canada - mobile computing - notebooks - satellite pro notebooks - Satellite Pro L650

    My question is if its possible to replace the annoying bilingual keyboard with a US english one? Is there a source for parts? Can I find them on ebay?

    From what I can tell the Canadian model numbers are slightly different as the one I linked is a Toshiba Satellite Pro model but on the US site its just a Toshiba Satellite

    It's possible to change, just take old one away and replace with new one. After that change to correct layout in windows settings.

    Unfortunately I don't know where you could locally get parts (or even online) for Toshiba. eBay would be my second choice, first being local reseller and it's service department. They would probably also know the correct part numbers, unless you can get a service manual or similar in your hands to check correct part.
