    I dropped my key and it broke the case so bought a new case from Ebay (only a fiver)
    I changed the board and the battery over so it look nice and new. It opened and closed the doors fine but when I put it in, it wouldn't start the car. I spent ages taking it to pieces and putting it back together (cleaning contacts etc) before I realised i'd forgotten to take the tiny chip out of the front socket.
    Then I had to tip the bin out where I had thrown the old case. Luckily, it was still there.

    What a dummy was I !!!!!

    Sounds more like the kind of mistake pretty much anybody could make if they hadn't happened to stumble on the information somewhere about the little chip.
