I want to replace the US keyboard on my laptop with a UK one. I thought that UK keyboards were 102 and US were 101 as my Uk one has a (#) key and the US one doesn't.

But the UK replacement part keyboard specifies 101 keys, so I am now confused. Can someone set me straight on this...!

I hope this question doesn't get closed at once :) I have an old laptop, a Compaq NC4200, which is going its final laps around the track these days. Battery is dead, and everything kinda runs slow. It also has only 1GB of memory, and even though I don't know if it can take more, I probably wouldn't… >>> More
