	You might as well Flame any number of companies, most do not
	or will not sell individual components for repair of their
	products. Repair is a big business, and as such most companies
	set levels of how far they will attempt to repair or replace
	certain items. Usually its never to a component level. You will
	in most cases replace the damaged item, in your case, the keyboard.
	Now if you can find replacement parts yourself and install them
	yourself, your in good shape. Otherwise your going to be springing
	for a new keyboard.. Apple is not the only company that does this,
	there are probably hundreds if not thousands...
