Thread: bloody keys

Hi Nat,

My Disco TD5 is 2000 model & keys are in perfect nick. BTW I found they are actually waterproof after having jumped off boat at ramp & found out I missed end of ramp!
When you say end has fallen off I assume you mean the molded part containing RF transmitter & battery.
If the transmitter is still functioning just reassemble on key & glue on with epoxy.
If transmitter is not functioning obtain replacement battery from Dick Smith or battery shop & fit it.
The red LED should light, and you should hear locks actuate when lock pressed. With new battery & no function, inspect circuit board closely for corrosion. If present clean off with white vinegar & then thoroughly rinse with demineralised water & dry. Inspect copper tracks & bridge with fine wire & solder if eaten away by corrosion.

Good Luck..B

It took him a while, but my brother rebuilt his keys.

Used a bike tyre inner tube and Tarzans Grip

The other place to look is on eBay and the like they pop up sometimes

Bit less expensive but still not cheap

Sorry, I didn't realise you meant button overlay.
As Jock says these can be repaired.
I repaired my Wife's Camry buttons using silicon overlays from old remote control. Some key cutters in shopping centres can also replace the switch overlays.

Cheers..B

Hi Nathand,
I didnt send a button casing as of yet as the ones i have are butchered where the key blade goes into.
I am waiting for one of the guys to come back from A/L as his tool box is locked & will have 1 or 2 i will send to you.
I havent forgotten just waiting.
He will be back on the 5th.

no worries i got the alarm disabled so i can open it with the key

Dont let the stealer rip you off. They will sell them for as low as $266.48 and then get someone with a nanocom to code it for you.
