Broken key on Dell laptop

I've broken a key off on my Dell laptop -the "5"! It's OK at home as I plug another keyboard in to use it but it means I won't be able to use it out and about now. Does anyone know if it's possible to get a key repaired?
Thank you

    Daisies, in the meantime go to, Start,Programs,Accessories,Accessibilty,On-screen keyboard. Will help (even if you only usr it for '5') until repair is made if possible.
  • Is it actually broken or just poppoed off? If the latter, they do just clip back on

    Phone dell, they will send you a replacement keyboard. in normal use keys shouldn't just fall of now should they, if they do then they are not durable enough to be used in the way they are needed to be.

    I have done this on behalf of customers in the past with no charges for the replacement keyboard.
