HELP! Who made Winbook Si and I need a keyboard for it!

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

Winbook had a model called an Si, someone told me it was made for them by
FIC. I am not sure I believe it, but anyway I was wondering who did make it
for them? anyone know?
I also need a keyboard for same notebook a Winbook Si, if anyone has a
Winbook Si that is not worth fixing, but has a good keyboard and battery
(battery not absolutely nessessary, but need one of those too) I would be
willing to buy the notebook for a reasonable price. I have checked eBay and
can not find one that is damaged and being sold for parts, one with a bad
display would be a prime example of what I am looking for.
TIA
John

I used to own an Si. It is in reality an FIC A430. The batteries
are well-known to have major problems, and Winbook used to replace
them for free (modulo shipping costs). It's been two years since I
had mine so I don't know what options you might have now.
