Key Case Replacement
The silver trim on my key has broken off. The tabs on the inside that hold it on are shot.
I was able to get a complete case replacement but the tabs are actually part of the plastic tray that holds the board and key together so the board has to be switched around the new plastic tray.
That's the problem. The board is sandwiching the plastic and it appears to be soldered together.
Before I try to remove the solder to the battery tray to un-sandwich the tray, had anyone done this successfully?
PowerfulUK has a video of the same process with a different key. Nothing else came up for me on the YouTubes.

It would. I just don't want to add any bulk. This is the only physical key I have in my life and I wish it was smaller or I could just use my phone.

Same. I mean yeah, I have a few other real keys around for padlocks and whatnot. But my LR key is the only one I carry around. It is getting pretty beat up and I wish I could just use my damn phone.
