Compatible ThinkPad models
This replacement keyboard fits ThinkPad T480s T490 T495 E480 E490 E485 E495 L380 L480 L490 L390 Yoga and P43S series laptops. It matches part numbers 01YP280 01YP360 01YP440 01YP520 and SN20P33310. Buyers with other ThinkPad lines or non-US layouts should look elsewhere.
Backlit frame and TrackPoint
The unit includes a black frame with US English lettering and integrated backlighting. A TrackPoint module is built in so the pointing stick works without extra parts. The ribbon cable connects to the motherboard; if keys fail to register, reseat the cable and clean the metal contacts with a dry cloth.
Sustained typing reliability
Under continuous use the keyboard maintains consistent actuation and backlight output. The fixed frame resists flex during long sessions and the ribbon connection stays seated once properly installed. No thermal or power concerns arise because the component draws minimal current from the laptop.

Questions about this item
How do I install the keyboard and avoid the ribbon-cable connection issue?
Remove the old unit, align the new keyboard's ribbon cable with the motherboard connector, insert it fully until it clicks, then wipe the metal contacts with a dry cloth and reseat the cable a few times if any keys fail to register.
Which part will most likely need replacement after extended use?
The backlight module or individual key switches may degrade first; the ribbon cable can also wear from repeated flexing during service.
What is the first limitation that appears during sustained typing sessions?
The membrane key switches can become less responsive over long periods, and the backlight brightness may dim slightly as the LEDs warm up.
