    The 'a' key on my keyboard came off and usually I just pop it back in but this time it just doesn't want to snap back. I figured the keyboard on my w3v is a little old and worn anyway. Is there any place where I can buy just the keyboard and would it be hard to install myself?

    To install, it, you just have to remove the screws along the bottom of the notebook that have a "K" next to them. Then turn the notebook rightside up, and use a flat edge (credit card might do, but try for something like a wedge... a flat wedged screw driver will work perfectly <-- don't quote me on my terminology :)). Push down 3-4 "clips" located at the top of the keyboard, and it should pop up; remove it, and remove the cable that connects the keyboard to the motherboard, then replace it with the new one.
