Car key fob open your car doors without you pressing anything?

Usually while putting the key fob in your pocket[book] or bag, your car door unlocks or opens. Sometimes you don't find out until after you complete your meal or shopping run and are returning to your car in the parking lot, sitting there with its door[s] wide open waiting for you (or any rando) to come by and take advantage of the situation.
If the problem with yours is the same as my coworker's, then this is a cheap (free), relatively easy fix that pretty much anybody can do, and you'll save the cost of a $300 replacement fob!

CJ I have been watching your videos today and I’m flabbergasted that you don’t have more subscribers and views. It’s apparent by the way you speak and articulate your commentary that you must have a pretty high IQ. Hope you make more videos soon. Enjoying the interesting topics. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@TechAddictAttic]

Thank you very much for the kind words! I do try, but honestly I think I can do much better with respect to quality of video and audio, background, and subject matter. After I take care of some personal life stuff, I hope to be back with better videos. Until then, thanks again!

Is there an adhesive that would work? Like super glue?

[@TechAddictAttic]

Good thinking... It might exist, I don't know. As for super glue (and other adhesives in the "cyanoacrylate" family), it probably would only be short term if it did work. The way adhesives like superglue work is by slightly dissolving a plastic by way of an acetate solvent, which evaporates very quickly, allowing the plastics to recongeal together as a joined bond. In this case, *maybe* the top layer of the PCB would qualify as a dissolvable plastic, but the metal cup would not permanently adhere, and the flexure of pressing the button would soon break any bond that did happen to form. A flexible adhesive would be better, but you'd have to make certain not to get it *under* the cup because then if it's a conductive adhesive the "button" would be constantly "pressed" due to electrical contact being made, and if it's nonconductive, it would prevent electrical contact from ever being made, preventing it from working. For most viewers of my channel, some kind of tape (probably a cellophane-style tape like "invisible" gift-wrap tape) would be the most obtainable, easiest to use, and most forgiving (if you made a mistake and need to reposition one of the cups). I would avoid masking tape if possible and avoid electrician's tape at all costs, however, as both of these options have a residue that will flow in time, making a huge mess of the PCB, preventing operation eventually, and being difficult at best to clean off without damaging the PCB or the components on it (speaking from experience).

Cannot really see what you are doing. 😢 But I think I have the idea.

[@TechAddictAttic]

Sorry about that... I have a very basic setup for recording, which is just my cell, in this video it was resting on a paint stirrer clamped to the top of my desk... so I can't actually see that I'm not in the field of view sometimes. But yeah, the concept is simple and easy to deduce from what you *can* see.
