    To me it looks more like components have never been soldered on to those pads. The battery is probably dead in the key which is why the remote isn't working.

    Hi mate.
    Not battery problem, I took it to test circuit. When I press the buttons often it emits less when I press the lock. the buttons are fine.

    That is a very common problem that happens when inexperienced people cut open the key. The blade catches the resistors.

    The best option is to get a used remote board and transfer the elmos transponder from your current pcb to the used one.

    If you see frequency, try resync the remote with car.

    Hi mate.
    I resync with car and only open no closed. The car start. The problem is the key for closed, when I check the out frecuency the remote no emite. I going to try to solder the capacitor and check the frecuency.

    Missing from side is a 432 (4.3k ohm) resistor and missing from top of picture is a capacitor. Im not sure which size it should be.
