Replacement Keyboard for Dell Latitude 5500 5501 5510 5511, Precision 3540 3541 3550 3551 Series Laptop with Backlit with Pointer US Layout P/N: 0MMH7V NSK-EX0BC PK132FA1B00

Works better than the original! No regrets..

Perfect OEM replacement. Maybe 1 hour to replace. I'm an IT pro, with hardware integration experience. I had a good work laptop keyboard that got gummed up, but didn't want to send it back to get an unknown replacement (backups, lose data, have to submit work requests to get prior-installed custom applications re-installed.....). I got this, replaced it myself, and was functional again. Caution: The replacement process only needs a screwdriver, but it is a VERY LONG process. There is a video online demonstrating - I never would have been able to complete this on my own without detailed instructions. This IS NOT a PLUG and PLAY replacement (old Dells had 4 screws on the front to replace the keyboard - the Latitude I have now had to be completely disassembled from the rear to access the keyboard - case, battery, disk, heatsink, wifi, NIC, touchpad, video, mainboard.... everything.... somewhere near 60 screws of 4 different sizes. If you don't have experience with this kind of disassembly/assembly, I would suggest finding someone more experience to do it.

These do not fit Dell Latitude 5510... Lat 5510's do not have a mouse nub or the mouse buttons beneath the spacebar. I didn't even notice until I had the laptop back together...

I wore right through a key on my original keyboard. Too much down arrow during game play... This keyboard is a perfect fit and all of the keys work smoothly and are perfectly centered in the keyboard bezel - so no rubbing. I've been using it for about 5 months now and it still looks and works like new - even though I've continued to regularly play that game where I wore through my old keyboard. Installation in Latitude 5511 is not for the faint of heart. Lots of little screws to remove to gain access. Tedious but achievable.

The keyboard appears good quality, reasonably priced, fits well, and after install the pointer mouse and keys work great. The backlighting does not work but that could be a bad cable connection on my part. Not a big deal for me either way. What I want to point out is this is not a simple Do it Yourself job for the inexperienced. There are dozens and dozens of very small screws on this Dell 3541 that have to be taken out and put back in in the proper sequence. On most laptops only a few screws and the keyboard pops out the front. Not on this Dell. The keyboard has do come out the back after you pull out everything else. If you do this search for the video. You'll be glad you did. Again It can be done, but if you haven't built PC's or are very experienced get some help with this one.

Very easy replacement on a Latitude 551 , only took me about 20 minutes to remove the old, faulty keyboard using just a small screw driver.

Nice item and fit perfectly on the Dell Latitude 5511, Which is not that easy of a job. There must be around 60 screws total to deal with. But again, the keyboard fit perfectly and works great.
