A button that stopped working has probably led to more than a few smashed remotes over the years. Fortunately [pescado99] has shared a beautifully simple cure for dead or dying remote buttons: grap…
Surprisingly, the youtube comments contain useful information, too.
Happens a lot with car rke fobs, I usually have to replace the housings and buttons all together for a permanent fix. I tried the super glue and aluminum foil method and it temporarily works. Nothing I used to attach the aluminum to the worn button pad really results in a long term fix though (super glue, silicone, epoxy, hot glue). Is this a better solution?
The only method that has worked okay for me is using a scalpel to cut off a layer of the silicone from the defective part, and getting a donor pad from another remote to glue it on.

There isn’t much room for error though.
