Worn out key buttons
My buttons are wearing out, though everything works. Can they be replaced/repaired?

EBay is your friend😉
You can get replacement covers quite cheap, just make sure you do not lose ANY of the internals, like I did 😒 Sent from my SM-J500FN using Tapatalk |

Those are the ones i just bought. Speedy delivery and the blades were a tight fit too. Unlike the last pair i bought where they would occassionally pull out! |

I just bought the rubber replacement as the rest of the keys were in good shape and saved playing with the blades

The immobiliser (grey block in the back of the fob) can be a bit tricky prising out with a small screwdriver blade. I got round this by using the old back since it is only the front where the buttons are that needed replacing.
Without the immobiliser the buttons work fine but when you try starting the car a message comes up on the trafficmaster display reading "engine disabled" or something like that Also the key blade can be difficult to remove. It just pulls out with pliers. Some come out easy, others are a struggle. But it isn't connected to anything, so jiggle and pull like a gud un to get it out. It has it's own bit of black plastic on the end with a rib down one side. There is a corresponding groove in the fob. So it will only go in one way. The circuit board is held in place by two hook type clips at the wide part. A small screwdriver blade inserted in the gap and twisted will free it easy enough. I struggled to get it back under the clips, gave up and left it a bit loose. Mine still works fine. To get the back off - with the back of the fob facing you put a screwdriver in the part where the key ring goes and prise it up towards you. Holding it steady use another screwdriver to run along the seam to free the back or it will simply snap back closed. You'll see what I mean when you do it. Hope this helps

Just keep looking on ebay, you'll find them eventually. And you don't need to get a new blade cut. My replacements came with a blank blade in them and they just pulled out.
