If it's under warranty, I would call IBM for a replacement keyboard. If not, maybe try to remove the key and reseat it.

Thats exactly what I wanted to do.. Remove the letter. But I think in IBM's it's very hard to put the key back on once removed.. I made that mistake w/ my "S" key and could never put it back on.. The key is still off. Lol

Perhaps you could write a letter of complaint to Sesame Street. It's obviously their fault!

So you have two keys missing/inoperative? Time for a new keyboard! If the computer is under warranty, get it replaced by Lenovo; if it isn't, stump up for a new one off e-bay - just don't pay too much.
