Hello everyone!
The key fob of my 8 years old Auris fell into the water with a detergent and I needed more than half an hour to get it out. Now I am trying to disassemble the whole fob to get the electronics dry in case it got wet.
Does anyone has any experience or knowledge of disassembly a key fob without breaking anything or causing dents and scratches due to its soft plastic?
So far I have only managed to remove the battery cover. Internet search results so far don't show more than that.
This is how the fob looks like.
@imperator rather tedious operation
shouldn't take much more than 5 minutes.
@imperator thanks. It seems your browser knows what to look for 😆
There may be a YouTube video showing how it's done. Almost everything is on YouTube nowadays.
@justin-shepherd you are right. Interesting thing is when I tried various search phrases, similar results, as written above, showed up but no video from the MMJ's answer. Even when I tried with its title, it was displayed somewhere among the results. I guess it has something to do with the browser's settings
@g-t more to do with search algorithms, and maybe your search history I think. Anyway, I just typed "how to disassemble toyota key fob" into Google. Most results were for only changing the battery, so I had to keep scrolling until I found one with "Disassembly" in the title.
Most don't have any screws. If it is screws, of course you unscrew them. You get a thin small screwdriver a tiny one kind of Jewelers use. Then you you force it open. It will unsnap the plastic always on snaps
