Physical damage to a laptop...

Doctor DooM

After a run with a young relative, my beloved laptop's v button has been physically broken off. I now have to strike the rubber bung beneath which is also going. Its a Toshiba Equium. Anyone know how/if I can get the key replaced?

Im not sure you can replace one of the keys by themselves but replacement keyboards are available. Which Equium series laptop is that?

Doctor DooM

Equium a60. I wouldnt mind replacing the whole keyboard as its a couple years old and you cant clean them like a normal keyboard Any idea on price?
