    Is there anybody around town who could fix a tiny PCB. It's the circuit board from a car key and it's missing two resistors.

    Seems like a handy job if I knew what the missing resistors were and could solder. Instead I'm looking for somebody to do it for me.

    No answer on phone so fired off an email. Website didn't strike me as a company who'd be bothered about small jobs and car keys.

    If you didn't get sorted

    I can probably arrange for the resistors and a soldering Iron for you to use.

    Thanks as that other company didn't have the courtesy to reply to the e-mail.

    However I found out that the circuit board has been water damaged and although the buttons were lighting up the circuit board(red light) there was no signal being sent from the board/key. I've bought a replacement used board on eBay for €22 and Lockdoctor said he would swap the memory over tomorrow. :D
