If it happens again then chances are it is a software rather than hardware problem - have you recently installed any new software? I can let you have some diagnostic software if it recurs to see what the problem may be.
Also, check that your drivers are up to date (these are little programmes that "drive" (or work) things like keyboards, mice, printers etc.
If you need help with this just give me a shout/

Have you a desktop PC with a USB keyboard which you can plug into the laptop?
Probably not, otherwise you would be using the PC rather than your mobile.

First off, turn the laptop off, unplug it from the mains and remove the battery. Leave it for a few minutes then replace battery and mains lead and try rebooting - it does sometimes work.
