Replacement keyboard keys

I have a Gateway MX6214 that is missing the "B" key. Is there any way of replacing this key or must the whole keyboard be replaced? Any links to where I can find the single key if possible. The key still works if you push the mechanism so I know if I can find the key cover it will be fine, not sure how to connect it though. Thanks for any input.

the spring is not exactly like that but similar to
p.m. Spinitch, he might whip up something for ya - if not, just try to be imaginative or another kboard or external kboard

unfortunately the keys i have won't work, they're for other model emachines/gateways. good luck finding another key, maybe you can persuade gateway to send you a key under warranty or pay them if they claim customer abuse.
