unfortunately the key fob treatment was unsuccessful thanks for trying to help everyone :'(
Did you re Sync it whilst in the Ing. afterwards?, all the buttons work and LED lights up as they should etc.

There pretty robust things, assuming all the Buttons and Battery contact are working correctly.

There is still a good chance of water in the switches preventing them from operating normally.

I don't know how handy you are with a soldering iron. Assuming that you don't have some new switches handy I would desolder the old switches and use a paper clip or similar to try to trigger some response.

Also worth checking that the battery terminals have not broken away from the board due to being churned around in the wash

Your local pharmacy shoul have IPA in stock, but may want you to buy more than you need!
I used to use it to play vinyl on a posh record deck as it dries without leaving a residue.

Ron.

Don't whatever you do ask the local pharmacist for rubbing alcohol or IPA, you often get a 'huh?' in response.  Ask them for all the medical disinfectant they have and go from there.

Medical knowledge has obviously been replaced with label/product knowledge as selling guff other than medical wares has become the priority.

I've managed to get out of it.

Apparently a server that's dying fast is a lower priority than some box ticking project management wank.  I decided not to argue the point beyond the basic facts, in case they agreed that it will butt-fcck 'em when it dies, and I have to go to bloody Ipswich to sort it.

Nah, the webbed feet brigade that run the place can fix it (only they can't, piss up in breweries is several steps too far for them).  I'm hoping it will last another 10 days, because then I'll be on holibobs, so becomes even less of my problem ;)
