keyfob switch repair

[messar]

After figuring out how to repair my heavily worn keyfob with a damaged switch, I'm wondering if anyone else is in the same boat.

If anyone is interested, I can replace the switches on the circuit board - this will be 15$ including shipping.

For anyone interested, I bought the keyfob itself off of ebay - it looks pretty good. Not bad for 8$ or so.

Thanks,

Matt

Is this for D1 or D2 and what is it exactly you are doing? What circuit board are you talking about?

 

[messar]

Sorry, for D2- inside the key, there is a printed circuit board with switches that break (at least mine did). I can replace these switches (they are surface mount parts, so a bit tricky to solder).

For the $15, are you replacing both tact switches? And, what kinda turnaround are we looking at?

 

[messar]

Yes, would be both switches. Turn around would be 24 hrs, but not including shipping time (the shipping assumes USPS flat rate box or padded envelope).

 

[messar]

One clarification - this is just the replacement of the switches on the PC board - the rubberized cover is part of the keyfob, and would have to be replaced separately - a whole new keyfob is 8$ on ebay, so not a big deal.

Still doing these repairs?

Is this why my key no longer works? I push the button, red light comes on but no unlocky?

If the light is coming on then your switch is working. The problem may be on the board itself.
