Mini Key Unlock Button

One day, as seen in the pic, i noticed that the "unlock button" of my mini key was missing! Is there a way to fix this, find the part and add it? Of course, if i find a replacement there is the issue of how to open the key

There is a vid on u tube about replacing the battery.

You could buy the shell on ebay and a ring

Utility knife would do the job. But you have to be easy on it and not go deep.

Thanks so much! Have u seen a shell with the mini logo on it though? :-)
Using a utility knife means that i have to cut the plastic or just pry it open?

I have yet to see one with a logo...

The knife is to cut. They use a glue to the point where it feels fused together lol

Are the buttons connected to the shell? Cause if they are not, im thinking of just using the buttons on the original shell :-)

They are part of a rubber cover that mounts under the outer shell. So the buttons are not seperate.
