Here is the back of the key: http://i.imgur.com/SFqnc34.jpg
Here is the hinge: http://i.imgur.com/Kb1CzQW.jpg http://i.imgur.com/m2a3Yof.jpg
The key was loose for a while and would fall out. Pushing it back in fixed it until yesterday. Is this key salvageable or do I need to buy a new one?

The pics are a bit blurry up close, but it may be that one of the tabs under the keycap has broken off.
It's the one on the lower right in the first image.

There's also a lot of dirt when you look at the 2nd picture.
You can buy a complete new (L) key e.g. here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/311166412454
Yours looks like (eBay) TYPE C, Regular key, but don't hold me to it and ask first if L is available.
