I am asking this question without a lot of hope of an answer but I figure this is DR and they seem to repair everything here. Does anyone know of a place in the North Coast that can repair the chip inside of a key fob. We have changed out the battery so we know it is not that, but it no longer works and life would be easier if we could get it fixed. Thanks for any knowledge you may have.

Key Fob Repair?????
I seriously doubt the technology exists on the north coast to unsolder, remove and replace the surface mount components such as the microprocessor that are inside such a device as a car remote control. I replaced a switch that went bad in one. If that is the problem, then it may be possible to fix the broken push button switch. The likely solution will be to purchase another and program it to work with your system.
Just ordered a generic one on eBay for a Cuban neighbor who doesn't speak English. It cost $25 and he had it working in minutes.
Can't beat that. Weighs next to nothing, so shipping should be low.

go to Musicarro or any other Auto Adornos in Santiago or POP and they will fix it or just buy another and they will program in mins.
Thanks everyone for the advice. I will check into some of the places. I am pretty sure it is not a fuse because the little light on the fob does not light up when pressed even though we changed the battery. It is a volkswagen and the only vw dealership I could find was in Santo Domingo or Santiago. I will call Stefan's car shop in Sosua and see what he can come up with.
Can you post a link as to which remote you purchased? It will be useful to have for future reference.
This is the person's eBay store:
car alarm, keyfob items in keyless entry store on eBay!
The one we bought was for an Infiniti, and was $24.95 with free postage.
