Key fob refurbishment - how to guide?

I had come across this a while ago, prior to buying a new fob without inwards, so hoping to swop over old key contents to new one, whilst new one sort pops open, the old one is almost unbreakable into.....help!!!

The original cases are plastic welded shut...only way to get into them is with VERY VERY careful cutting....best just to replaced the worn rubber pads, battery and battery cover with seal..

The likelihood of busting the circuit board is high....and even if you do get in, you may find the tiny microswitches for the fob buttons have come off the board and rerendered useless...

Oh and did I mention if you are to do it be VERY VERY careful...!!

Message heard loud and clear.....great piece of info...cheers V8!

If it's your only key make sure to have alternative transport available for visiting Dealer for new key £££

I have spare button inserts, its just that the 2nd key case looks pretty scruffy.......
