Well, I've got a D-series laptop for parts at work.  It's motherboard
is shot, but I can part with the keyboard if you're interested, albeit
I need a nominal fee since it's my company's property.  I pulled it
out and confirmed that it's not the same U-shaped ribbon you've got.
If you want to try it out, and see if it's the same ribbon pinout at
least and will still reach, I can try to meet up with you.  I'm pretty
busy these next few days, obviously, but let me know if you're
interested.
