So the key to open the door when the fob doesn't work is inside the fob!?!

How the hell do you get just the key out without breaking the fob?!

Hmm...not working!

Or is it?

It has just locked and unlocked the car twice and now nothing,maybe a good drive to charge it a bit.

The battery may have some charge when you get it, but it's unlikely to be much. So yes, a good drive should sort it.

Just been out for a good hour,fob was canny warm,still not working.

It may need a bit more solder...or I might have fried it with my sausage fingers.

I had the same problem, followed your advice and it works perfectly, although I haven't glued the fob back yet, might give it a month Thumbs Up

Had the same problem with mine, and being an electronics engineer, the soldering side of things gave me no worries about replacing the battery. I had doubts about the battery being faulty as the key is regularly charged up with a long journey (open the car with wifes fob)

However, as per one of the posts on here, it worked perfectly when the pcb was out of the case. Further investigations revealed the inside of the back of the case has a neoprene packing piece on it, which pushes onto the back of the battery.
Over time, this compresses so no longer pushes on the back of the battery.

As an experiment, I packed mine out with 4 small pieces of paper and it works perfectly every time. Glued the case back together and every one is a winner !

(Just a though as something to try before going down the soldering route, case is already open and it will cost nothing to try, might save you the agro of soldering the fob)

Sorry, pressed wrong quote Embarassed
