(Sorry if this is covered elsewhere - hard to search for short words like key and fob.)
The metal key part of my key has been a little temperamental in the last few days, being a bit reluctant to flip in and out. I ignored it, and so now, of course, it is stuck in the closed position. Any ideas on how to coax it out? The chrome button seems not to press all the way down, to release the key to swing out.
I have tried fiddling with it and wiggling it (steady, now) but nothing comes out (quiet at the back!).
I thought maybe the inside bit of the button had got misaligned in its slot, but I can't get a blade into the gap to try to push it into place.
Supposedly there were disassembly instruction at the location below, but the link seems to be dead.

I do have a spare key, but I put that away so very safely that it will take me all day to find it.
I also have a cheap Chinese key fob copy that I was thinking of using one day. Maybe this is the time. Are there also instructions on how to move the chip over to the new case?
