If the parts are broken, NO you can't.
Contact Compaq and ask about getting a keyboard replacement.
If they are not broken, then look at how they can go together . . . most likely though is that the 2 small bits are what should stop key falling of, hence are broken

like above said, it can be fixed very easy and i have done this numerous times... The 2 little black pieces do create a spring effect. The easiest way to fix them is to connect the 2 little black things and snap them back on to the keyboard. Make them lay flat. Then press the key on top of them and it should snap back together. Its a frustrating process but if you play with it, it will work and be just like new again
