Could somebody please inform me of what the correct way to replace the keyboard on the N10J model would be?
I currently have a European layout and would prefer US English standard.
A detailed description or pictures would be greatly appreciated.
I have already referenced RICH's forum post on the innards of the N10J but did not find it useful for my given requirement.
Sorry for the trouble and thank you for your time.
Dont spend money on k\b. Just buy stickers:)
Now playing: nothing. I'm learning Na'vi lang.
if u look at the top edge of the keyboard the little space above the function keys u will see 4 silver looking clips u have to move those and get something small and thin to raise up the keyboard the move to the next clip etc... fold the keyboard up and remove the ribbon
depending on where you live i have a us keyboard for the asus n10 for sale email me, if interested will sell for cost and shipping. new in box never benn opened - asus replaced mine for free so i do not need it
THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR RESPONSES.
I AM SORRY BUT I HAVE ALREADY PURCHASED A US KEYBOARD BEFOREHAND. I THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE OFFER ANYWAY.
THANK YOU FOR THE DESCRIPTION ON HOW TO REMOVE KEYBOARD. COULD YOU PLEASE ALSO TELL ME IF YOU PUSH THE BLACK TABS TOWARDS YOURSELF (DOWNWARDS) UNTIL YOU HEAR A POP OR CLICK OR IS THERE SOME OTHER WAY TO PUSH THEM? IS IT BEST TO START FROM THE CENTRE OR SIDES?
Thank You.
my n10 is at asus right now, and i do not remember, to many senior moments, just play with it gently, and u will figure it out. do not force anything, also u may want to email asus and ask them for instructions to take out the keyboard. or, pm darkjeric and i guarantee he can tell u exactly how to do it, tell him if he does not help you i am going to whip him, whip him good 
he showed me how to do it in a post at these forums. 
since u are changing it , play with it, who cares if u tear it up, u do not like it anyway.
just kidding, be gentle, adapt and overcome, if i can figure it out you can - good luck
And here I am
It's basically just what Web here said, just above the keyboard (in the ridge between the keyboard and the shiny border with power button and all) there are 4 small clips. These clips hold the keyboard in place. You have to use something thin (like a guitar plectrum or something similar) and push these straight down until you hear a click.
I don't know if any order is better than the other, I usually do it sequentially from left to right. When you've 'unclipped' all 4 clips, the keyboard should pop right out. Don't pull it out right away though, the cable is still attached! You'll see a big flat cable going from the keyboard to a somewhat big connector. Gently move the dark part of the connector forward (there's a little brownish click-mechanism to keep the cable stuck to the connector, just grab the two brown clips on the sides of the connector and move these away from the white piece of the connector).
Then you can just take out the keyboard and put in your own. The easiest way I found is to put the bottom already in place, and then attach the cable. Again, make sure the connector on the motherboard is 'open' e.g. the brown clips are away from the white piece. Then slide in the cable (make sure you orient it correctly, I've been stupid before 
) and close the connector again (the brown clips, remember?).
When thats good and done, you can just lay flat the keyboard and start pressing it down as close to each of the 4 clips as possible until you hear it snap into place. Again, the order doesn't matter much I suppose, though I do this sequentially again.
Good luck with it, if you hadn't already figured it out
PS Web: It's not because I like guitar strings that I'm into the whole whipping stuff 
OFFTOPIC: web3221, I haven't seen so awesome post yet. 
Now playing: nothing. I'm learning Na'vi lang.THANK YOU ALL FOR THE RESPONSES.
Based on the directions provided I have managed to change to the US keyboard today and currently it is functioning properly.
Thank you for the information.
all the true credit should go to darkjeric, no kidding he better at it than me. and most others here at the forum are better than me, every once in a while, i get a great knockout punch
happy you got it taken care of the way you wished
Ah c'mon Web, you answer 75% of all questions on this forum first. Just look at your post count
And to be honest, half of my answer to this topic was already in your post. I just have a talent for explaining the exact same thing in as many words as possible
DJ _agree with you on both points, but quantity does not always equal quality, thanks with regards to number of posts
As one final aside question could somebody please tell me if any of the keyboards from the EEE PC line or other ASUS notebooks are compatable with the N10J? The N10J keyboard looks very similiar to one of the 10" EEE PC keyboards.
Thank you for your time.
you need to ask tech support, i believe the n10 board is classified as a standard 256mm keyboard. something like that, i be going from memory, here.
i bot mine from estore/accessories dept, fremont , ca 94538. but i think i ordered it from a canadian website either of them could tell you. i had a 1000h eee/pc it looks similar but i believe a bit smaller, do not quote me on that.
