Keys Coming Off Suddenly!

Hi All;

I have a Studio 1737, and the last week or so, I have been having problems with the keybord. 2 keys have come off,  the H and the I. Also 2 others have started to come off, first by "feezing" or getting difficult to press down.  I have had this laptop for a year and 3 months, so my warrenty expired in July. They want $199.00 to fix. I have the parts, looks like there are 3 pieces to the key.. What can I do? Seems like a design flaw, I don't blog, or write papers or anything that involves a lot of typing.

Help!!! :emotion-7:

Thanks,

~feline
