Do you have a unibody Macbook Pro with a black keyboard, or one of the earlier MBPs with a silver keyboard? If it's the later, it may have the problem described in the article linked below and, if it does, it may still just barely be eligible for a free repair.

Get it to an Apple Store or authorized service provider ASAP and ask to have it tested. Good xluck!
