Battery went flat cos I hadn't started it for a couple of weeks. Got into boot and put a charger on it. That was 24 hours ago. Battery is now fully charged but using fob OR putting key in door it won't open. Same for passenger side. Top of door flashes green or red depending which button on fob that I push.
I did didconnect neg terminal for a minute and then reconnect but still nothing.
Any ideas? Please!

Can you hear it unlocking? Does it have manual release buttons like the GT? To the rear of the handle?

Assuming it's a QP V and battery terminals are tight etc:

Press to unlock with the fob button.
Open the boot with the key.
Don't try to soft close the boot, but slam it shut.
Lock the doors with the fob button.
Leave it for a minute or so.
Then unlock with the fob button.
That works on mine so hopefully all will be well for you.

If it's really screwed up you might have to rinse and repeat a couple of times, and keep an eye on the battery as once they've gone totally flat their lives can be compromised.

So I got in using Phil H method but now the drivers door won't shut. Any further ideas with this fault?
Did you try opening the drivers door with the manual button (next to the exterior electric micro switch)? If so, it may be that the manual button is slightly depressed and needs encouragement to return to its neutral position… I had this problem, and it’s down to the manual button going unused for such long periods it seizes up.
