You didn't bother to tell us what you mean by "broken", but laptop keyboards are designed to be lightweight, not rugged, and the keys are not designed to be replaced.

If the keys or some other aspect of the keyboard are not working, your only choice is to replace it.

If you are experienced at laptop repairs, you can often replace a keyboard for $25 for a new one and a half-hours work. I have done this on older HP laptops.

But, if you're NOT, there is a serious risk of breaking fragile connectors and cables doing this -- so I do not recommend it.

Instead, I would recommend you hunting down a local laptop repair place to have THEM replace the keyboard. Sometimes, on some models, you have to replace the entire top surface of the laptop, not just the keyboard. So you should get an estimate of what is involved before you have the work done.
