Replacement keys for 5793 keyboard?

Well... I'm not sure what happened, but my F4 key has come off the keyboard. I put the computer into hibernation with it and it popped off as I released it. The plastic piece that it snaps onto is broken, so I have no way to reattach it.

Is there somewhere to get a replacement key and the plastic piece that it snaps to? I don't want to have to send in the laptop for warranty service if I don't have to. I also don't want to have to replace the entire keyboard if I can just get the key and the plastic snap piece. Thanks for any help.
