Frustrating


Thanks Dave

Sounds like a dodgy solder. I replaced the covers and batteries in mine the battery soldering is a fiddly business and one of mine has stopped working now, I'm pretty sure it is my dodgy soldering. I know others have found cracked and broken solder connections to the battery on their original remotes as well.

That will fit the problem if your case is wearing out on the keys, but it won't help if you battery if failing or if you have a dodgy battery connection which is why I changed mine. My old cases were fine, but you destroy the case getting into it to replace the battery.

Moral of the story? Try treating your keys like a smartphone - dropping them is bad!

Hi, after looking around to repair my key fob on my disco 3 I found a site on ebay, it was remotefobcentreuk , you send them your key fob and they refurbish the remote and put it into a new case and send it back to you, ive just recevied mine back and I couldn't be happer, total cost was $97.00 plus $18.00 for the express post bag total time was 15 days turnaround. I hope this was usefull.
