Of course, you can use an external keyboard / mouse as some have suggested here. However, replacing a laptop keyboard is not rocket science and that is the solution to keys not working. Attempts to fix individual keys rarely works. It's usually the keyboard electronics and not the key itself. Send me make / model in a private msg and I'll be happy to point you in the right direction.
