Red face HELP!!! Burnt my laptop's keyboard!

First, it's my gf's laptop, so may be this is my last post if you don't help me. My stupid friend dropped a burning matchstick on the keyboard after lighting his cig, melting the key around Caps Lock. Please tell me if i could replace the individual keys, or if the whole keyboard needs changing. Also, how much is it gonna cost me . The laptop's model number is Compaq Presario M2000.

3.5K for whole keyboard replacement from HP approx price.
Getting keys are little tough.

Too bad thing to happen on GF's lappy.
