Title: Key-fob repair kit
Post by: Lampynoiseboy on 21 January 2011, 23:50:39
Not sure if this is allowed, as it's not my auction but.....

Buttons on my keyfob had really had it, found this guy on fleabay

Delivered next day, fitted myself & it works better than the originals ever did.
Just though I'd share as it was cheap, very good service & excellent items.

BTW, If anyone needs this, can't solder & is anywhere near me, I'm willing to do the job for them, no charge

HTH

(& if this guy is on here- kudos!)

 Yep, got some of those, and some soldered in buttons thanks to Kevin and TB. Works well. :y

If the car's still going when these die, I might consider, but with only one key, the alarm will really p*ss the neighbours off for a couple of days  :-[, and it did only take 15 mins

Only down side is the cover has no lens for the LED, but I never look at it anyway

They were, is my own fault. Rubber was very worn, & I did nothing apart from press harder & wiggle about so the buttons soon followed  :-[

Would suggest taking the PCB out for inspection, & if the buttons are still in good condition (the rubber tops flatten off with wear), and they still click solidly then you'll probably be ok with just the rubber
