Run the Dell diagnostics on the keyboard (F12 at powerup, choose Diagnostics from menu).  If the key fails, call Dell and they'll send a replacement keyboard.

Press the power button, then F12.  A menu will appear - among the choices will be Diagnostics.

Keyboards are customer-replaceable - they will send you a keyboard.
