Broken key help

Hi

Have just got a second hand Razer Blackwidow keyboard RZ03-0286
It has a broken right arrow key, can this be replaced.

I have tried disabling the Razer software but problem still continues
Can i buy replacement switches and re-solder them?

Cheers

For anyone that cares at all or might have a similar issue..

Need a screenshot of the error. Are you trying to connect it via some hub? Or directly to motherboard USB port?
Also plase don't reply in a topic, that is not connected to your problem.

if u don't want to solder anything, i'd just use the numpad arrow keys
or remap prtscrn ins home and pgup as arrow keys
