Keyboard including precision touchpad (PTP) / for models with DVD compartment.
This offer is for an original keyboard. However, imitation keyboards are also frequently sold on the market, which can differ from original products in terms of build quality, fit, and durability.
With this offer, you can be sure to receive a high-quality original keyboard.
This keyboard is for models with optical drive (DVD) and with precision touchpad (PTP).
Within the same model series, there are keyboards with and without an optical drive (DVD) and with a conventional touchpad (TP) or with a precision touchpad (PTP). If the wrong keyboard is selected, the identical keyboard may fit but not work.
An indication of whether the keyboard has a PTP touchpad can be found on the back of the touchpad when it is removed, directly on a small white label. In the case of a precision touchpad, this label will say "PTP". A photo of the back of the keyboard and the touchboard is helpful for us to identify it.
If it is not possible to remove the keyboard and the manufacturer number of the keyboard is not known,
for some models, we can also find out the required keyboard for your notebook using the model designation. This model number must be specified when ordering.

You can only install keyboards intended for the use in your model. So, when your current keyboard does not have a numpad you will not be able to install one with a numpad, since they would be too large. The same is true for keyboards with numpad, ones without numpad would then be too small.
However, there is the option to use an external numpad connected via USB.
Most countries have their own keyboard Layout. Usually the device has the layout of the country it has been bought in.
The English layout can be recognized by the first six Characters of the top row of letters. That's also why it is called QWERTY-layout, another common abbreviation for it would be ENG-layout.
There can be multiple reasons for its failure.
