If this fix doesn't work for you, it may be worthwhile to try to solder in a new button. That's what I had originally intended to do, and it really doesn't look like it would be that difficult. Of course, if you aren't able to fix your current fob you can always get a new one from your Porsche dealer.

Good luck getting your fob to work and do let us know if you are able to fix it.

Do you have the part number for the switch handy?
