You have 2 options here.
1. Replace the keyboard. Providing the laptop isn't too far out of date, a replacement keyboard shouldn't be too hard to find. Try calling the manufacturer. I recommend taking it to a professional to do the switch, laptops can be very tricky to work on.
2. Plug in a desktop keyboard. Keep in mind many laptops do not have PS/2 ports (the little round plug about the size of your pinky finger) So you may have to use a USB keyboard. Make sure to check before you buy the wrong keyboard.
In conclusion, if the laptop is still under warranty, this may actually be covered by it. Call your laptops manufacturer to be sure. The worst they can do is say no.

Do Some keyboards include multimedia key and Internet keys?
Lately, there has been much development for multimedia keyboards to simplify quick access to the internet, control your media player and answer mail at the touch of a button. Back in the day when these things were merely someone's dream, there was no need to create a more functional keyboard and they have barely improved since the earliest typewriter. However, by spending a little over $100, you can get keyboards that do almost anything short of making a cup of tea for you.
- Backlit keyboards are used more often nowadays because global communications are more frequent by computer and the time of day usually has no meaning.
- Keyboards have a zoom slider that can increase and decrease the size of web pages or mapped to applications for the same uses. Even if you don't have a zoom slider, pressing [Ctrl] while using the mouse wheel does the same thing.
- Gaming keyboards have more quick functions to include external application control while running full screen games, even though you could probably map most of the average keyboard function keys to do that (F1 - F12).
- Cords have been eliminated so that you can curl up in bed while your PC is connected to your 105 cm bedroom plasma TV. Laser detection has replaced bluetooth and optical as it does not require a line of sight, just proximity.
- Robotics have taken part of keyboard technology by installing a mini joystick that controls different cameras and camera angles for super geek webcam.
- A temperature dial has been placed on some keyboards to slot in a pizza and cook it... nah, maybe I went too far there, but that would be awesome :)
No. I'm thinking you're associating the idea with a laser (optical) mouse. Keyboards can be wireless but it's not accomplished by infrared.
