Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i recently replaced my original 911 key with the "911" GT-3 style key. the other day i dropped my key in a very small amount of water, but the key is no longer working. the "911" part lights up still, but it doesn't lock/unlock the doors. i tried opening it up and letting it dry out, and also took the battery out for a while, but neither of those helped. does anyone have any ideas for fixing this? thanks in advance... josh

POST 2Original post

Try using a hair dryer to dry it out completely. Letting it "air dry" probably won't do the trick.

POST 3Original post

computer cleaner air can to blow it out or put in some rice or wrap in blanket tape up and put in dryer

Nicolaas, So how did your keys damage your cell phone?

POST 7Original post

My key went through the laundry (clothes washer). Despite all the drying, cleaning, battery replacement, resetting...it was DOA. The light would blink when I pressed on the button--but nothing would happen. Had to buy a new transmitter & have the dealership match it to the car. About $250. Gr-r-r-r.
