I hate solder wick, I use a flux pen on it , and you need to put a good bit of solder on your iron tip to get good heat transfer to the wick or it just never gets hot! Thanks for the video.
Thanks man I will take my time,I have soldered before but nothing like this.also do the buttons have to be soldered a certain way round do they have a + end and - end.
I have one of these keys and some of the transistors are missing. I got a new one, but I cannot program it because I don't have the card anymore. Can I solder the old black block into the new chip?
So on my 02 zafira its the circuit board in key broke, but transponder chip is old type not soldered to the board, question is if i change the board n case for one from 2nd hand key but put my chipnin will it work didnt think the boards needed programming just the chip itself? Anyone
yussi01 put your key in the ignition barrel and press the buttons on the key. if I remember correctly it needs to be on the on position without engine running. this happens if you keep the key battery out for over 15minutes.
Thanks for your comment, This was a quick off the cuff repair video and I was using the wires to show the repair working (had I put it in to the new shell then I would have been able to show the unit working but as a enclosed remote rather than the board I had just repaired) However your comment is a valid one and some things could be done differently but the style of the video is how I shoot most of the time
Sorry, but this video is a real "how NOT to do" something.... Thanks for the effort, but it's a real botch!!! ...Not even scissors to open the battery, don't you have something sharp? ...and the contacts of the controller battery and soldering the power wires on the motherboard... better not to talk about it! Good luck!
@@ElectronicStuff so in theory then in my mk1 zafira has chip in its just wedged in key plastic not soldered in the board like new ones can i change the circuit board for a 2nd hand one use my key blade n chip ?
Just fixed my car key thanks to your video. It deserves more likes than it has :)

Hi, how long have you got with the battery removed for memory of the door locking so you don't have to have it re programmed thanks
how did you transfer the 2 battery conectors coz one of them is almost impossible, i brok mine.
I am doing this in the next few days any tips,is there a right and wrong way to solder the switches.?
Yes there is a way!!!
Don't do it like in this video wrong!!!!!
Find another one that solder like a pro and not like this botched one.

I honestly don't know, but in theory it should work as the transponder is just an rfid chip
@@ElectronicStuff thats ehat i was thinking ill give it a try ! Ta
done something similar to whet you did. but now the key doesn't respond to the locking and unlocking mechanisms on the key
Gareth Loader The red is flashing on the key. so I don't think there's a short
Gareth Loader ahhhhh. okay no worries thank you 👍👍

@@sokol.murati Long time ago but my GF corsa C circut board dont have the the light on the board. Any way to messure to see if the key are alive?
how to reprogram a vauxhall zavera keys?
Great video only you discover the wrong plus side for batery so wrong writed on the pcb board
helped alot dude thanks :)
Why dont these people rehearse before filming? Why solder wires on to test when the clips will need to be fitted eventually?

This is simple the problem is you will still need to program the key to
the car :(( waste of time..
Not the case when just replacing the buttons on the old board

This video is a joke. Who would trust the repair advice of a bloke that can't push a battery through the backing card of the packaging. SERIOUSLY!!!
That was one of the worse battery packages I've come across, it did not want to push out the back
