I purchased a 2002 base Boxster with stick from the original owner about 10 days ago. She never used the extra "powered" key. The "powered" key she used and that I have been using operated fine until last night. Now, the LED stays on and the key no longer operates the doors nor the trunks. I tried a new battery on the theory that was cheap and easy. It still doesn't work. The other key works fine as does the key without the circuit board and battery in it.

The micro switches (all 3) on the circuit board audibly click.

Any suggestions? Thanks.
