Thank you both for the links.

It would be worth having a spare or two.

After some tinkering I have got it working phew !

Electronic components are resilient, it survived a washing machine cycle !   

Stay curious,

Louis thanks for your reply. I should have explained it accidentally got put into the washing machine. I have tried a new MN27 battery no joy. Does anyone know where I can obtain another fob or replacement circuit board.

I had an I King motorized roll off roof obo installed in 2013. The key fob has stopped working. I King no longer does these items. There is no name of the manufacturer on the fob or control panel. Does anyone know where I can obtain a replacement ?

Stay curious,
