<p dir="auto">I popped off the rear cover to reveal 2 screws. I removed both screws.</p>
<p dir="auto"><a href="/assets/uploads/files/monthly_03_2015_post-3341-0-82734600-1425601418.jpg"><img src="/assets/uploads/files/monthly_03_2015_post-3341-0-82734600-1425601418_thumb.jpg" alt="post-3341-0-82734600-1425601418thumb.jp" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" width="980" height="735" /></a></p>
<p dir="auto">Remove board as shown.</p>

<p dir="auto">Start removing old buttons. Use caution and work slowly. </p>
<p dir="auto"><a href="/assets/uploads/files/monthly_03_2015_post-3341-0-65554300-1425601632.jpg"><img src="/assets/uploads/files/monthly_03_2015_post-3341-0-65554300-1425601632_thumb.jpg" alt="post-3341-0-65554300-1425601632thumb.jp" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" width="1000" height="751" /></a></p>
<p dir="auto">I broke a few tabs but all is good. Again use caution.</p>
<p dir="auto"><a href="/assets/uploads/files/monthly_03_2015_post-3341-0-35301900-1425601673.jpg"><img src="/assets/uploads/files/monthly_03_2015_post-3341-0-35301900-1425601673_thumb.jpg" alt="post-3341-0-35301900-1425601673thumb.jp" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" width="1000" height="751" /></a></p>
<p dir="auto">I cut off the fake led light as my key had a real one.</p>
<p dir="auto"><a href="/assets/uploads/files/monthly_03_2015_post-3341-0-75790900-1425601731.jpg"><img src="/assets/uploads/files/monthly_03_2015_post-3341-0-75790900-1425601731_thumb.jpg" alt="post-3341-0-75790900-1425601731thumb.jp" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" width="1000" height="751" /></a></p>
<p dir="auto">I needed to cut a corner off the lock button to clear the chip.</p>
<p dir="auto"><a href="/assets/uploads/files/monthly_03_2015_post-3341-0-87788900-1425601793.jpg"><img src="/assets/uploads/files/monthly_03_2015_post-3341-0-87788900-1425601793_thumb.jpg" alt="post-3341-0-87788900-1425601793thumb.jp" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" width="1000" height="751" /></a></p>
<p dir="auto">The chip had some adhesive holding it down preventing it from rattling. I used a dab of shoe goo to hold it in place.</p>
<p dir="auto">Put it all back together with a new battery and all it good.</p>
<p dir="auto">If replacing battery, you have 30 seconds to get the new battery in once the old is out. It took me about 3 seconds so it should not be a problem. If battery is out for longer you will have to re-initialize the key.</p>
