Range rover Evoque key not working after changing battery

[Kram]

the unit is prtitty much the same as this so does not seam to be any extras in there

I couldnt see the chip in the video but if it has one, it will be small. The Phillips ID46 chip was used in nearly everything

ok an bit of an up date on this after a bit of time and a trip to local timpsons i have found the remote is lightly fubared

there is corrosion in the battery terminals and a slight bit over the board

this was pointed out after taking to timpsons and they tested it for rf out put and there was nothing so i cliped it apart and there it was ive cleaned it up but im guessing the damage is done when it leaked but will give it a try but not hoping for much

fair dos to them said bring it in and did not even charge for the test

Get some good macro photos of the board. It may be that some solder joints need to be re heated.

Timpsons wouldnt trust them having had previous experiences with them. It is a shame that they have popped up everywhere as it helped all the small hardware shop key cutters out of business.

i did not use them only as they have a signal tester to see if the key is out putting a signal thats it


saved me loads of time as its not doing nothing no point in me doing much more

If you need to replace the fob and the evoke isn’t miles away I may be able to add another one to it with my scanner depending on the age

And charging £10 to cut a simple house key, they’re making a killing. If ever I need a key I take a ride up to a small one man band hardware store I know, where I can get 2 keys cut for £9.50.

It shouldn’t make any difference.
