When you say "broken" do you mean completely snapped off, or bent out of place?

So the problem is that those metal hooks are actually apart of a bigger metal structure that attaches to the body of the device. Their's a video that shows what I'm referring to here, at around the 12 - 13 min mark. If you want to find a replacement keyboard, I'd start looking at eBay or salvage one from a junked MacBook.
