My escape/Fn Suspend key fell off on my computer
Is htere any way to "click" it in, or is the only way to crazy glue it on?

You are not pressing it on correct. Take a deep breath and think about it for a second.

Laptops are cheap. J/K

You should be able to order a replacement. *edit* Replacement keyboard that is.

Warranty?

This is a fairly common problem on the newer Dell laptops (past 2-3 years) and once the keys pop off, virtually impossible to re-install. When you contact Dell support with this issue, they replace the whole KB.

Wow better be careful with that computer - in a precarious situation not having an escape is, well dangerous! ;)

Yah, Dell will probally just replace the keyboard, BUT all it needs is a new key. That is, if the key is broken, make sure u look at how it slides in.
