You might try spraying the electronics in the key with electrical contact cleaner...not much hope of a cure, but who knows. Suggesting it b/c the key sat idle for so long. If that doesn't work, then a new key head is probably in order. I think sunset sells them. Some indies can program the keys if they have the right scanner. Two numbers are needed - one comes with the key, you can get the other from the dealer. Takes 15 minutes to program.
