There is no need to deactivate the built-in keyboard in order to use an external keyboard.

Depending on the age and model of your laptop, you should be able to plug in either a USB or a PS_2 keyboard and use it in place of the built-in keyboard.

Note: If you use a PS_2 keyboard, it should be plugged and un-plugged with power off.

don't be surprised if it doesn't work immediately. Wait about 15-20 seconds for the correct drivers to load and it should start working.
