Perfect video! Managed to get my key open and the old button fell out with the board. Had to sharpen the tip of my old soldering iron with a metal file but it worked fine. Key fob now works again, you've saved me £££££s! Thanks buddy

Thanks!
Now the fob works fine again. I soldered back the old button.
Great video.

I soldered the old button which was already loose in my fob case. £££ saved 😊

Thanks for the hint bro. I didn't noticed that seal in the process of dismounting.
I managed to reach the circuit board and the opening small button is stuck.
Also thanks to your hint i'll order a new small button and i'll replace it.
Best regards!

Thank you so much for this video, I was about to spend 300 on a new remote. Mine had exactly the same issue.

Thanks for the video. it was helpful. However, I was lucky enough to open the key without cutting the yellow plastic from the sides.
I simply slid a knife blade underneath the plastic.

Information is good but I couldn't see what you soldered, maybe magnifying what you did would help more, thank you anyway!

Big question. The part of the circuit board that contacts the battery has four prongs that are soldered. On my mine, the solder is worn thin and it doesn't seem to get power from the battery. Can that be the case? Could send a pic but not sure how to do so.
