Call Dell. They will send you a keyboard under warranty - it is easily replaceable.

The warranty will cover the keyboard, which is a customer-replaceable part.
It is very easy to replace:

yeah replacing the keyboard on a notebook is easy.
1. look at the top right of your keyboard you will see a little indent in the top corner.
2. using a flat edge screw driver you cant pop that up and remove the center hidge cover. (it only a snap in piece.
3. then un screw the screw that hold the keyboard in.
4 slide the keyboard out and disconnected it form the system board.
5. put the new one in and follow the step backwards.
6. you should be good to go. take about 10 mins the first time and it very easy.

i think its either the back of the key that is bad or the hinge has a broken leg, if that makes sense to you. First try a install a new laptop key, its around $5, you can buy it at laptop keys replacement, www.replacementlaptopkeys.com, that will come with a new key cap, a new hinge, and rubber center to make contact to the keyboard, you can just change the key and hinge, see if that works, if not, then a new keyboard will most likely be needed.
