How do I reattach keys on my newish Dell XPS M1530?

My laptop is less than 6 months old and I have two keys that have totally popped off (my fault in both cases). I have the key, a white piece and a smaller black piece that fit together somehow and need to click back on the keyboard. Where can I find pictures that show how these pieces fit together?

Update:

I am not willing to deal with Dell customer service again. If the parts are NOT broken then how can I snap them back in place? If they ARE broken then I will take it somewhere else. No offense towards you as a Dell person, but their customer service has changed since I bought my first Dell so many years ago.

    The different types of keys are also available for sale there individually in case any of your pieces are broken.

    Usually when the keys come off, they break the small attachment that "snaps in" to hold them.Dell usually comes with a 1 year minimum warranty and keyboards are covered, I have replaced many keyboards for Dell under warranty.
