Chances are when you changed the battery, you bumped something on the circuit board.

I've got 2 remotes, one 5 year old & one original.
I've had to re solder the battery section back onto the circuit board a few times on both remotes, & the original one (2000) actually had the tiny buttons fall off the circuit board.

...& by some small miracle of engineering I managed to solder the buttons back on too.
I'd say you have a similar problem.
If you find a broken connection on the circuit board, the trick is to isolate which connector & then solder it from the under side of the board.
You may just need to touch the soldering iron to the connection for a few seconds, without adding extra solder.

Hi. Does the unlock button feel like the other buttons? It may have some muck in it that is stopping the contact from working properly, try flushing the switch with isopropal alcohol while working the button on the switch. Cheers MD

all fixed i put a tiny thin square piece of cardboard behind the button and in between the circuit board which made the button firmer

Yes, the tiny piece of cardboard/folded paper is a good trick.

The actual buttons on the circuit board lose their springiness over time and need quite the thumbnail jab to depress, so a little bit of something under the gel button works wonders.
