    Hi everyone!

    I've managed to run into one of those very unlikely problems with computers and I have no idea how to resolve it after trying a few things. Basically, my right arrow key is broken (I just found out), and it is mapped to the FN for adjusting brightness to "brighter". Is there any way to remap the FN key combinations? I know you can't remap the FN key itself.

    I've tried remapping the right arrow key and use another working key as the FN extension, but it didn't work. I've also tried adjusting the brightness using my hardware, but it just makes the monitor faded white. This problem is ridiculously annoying since I pretty much have to squint because of the dark brightness setting. I'm lost for ideas, please help!!
