Looking through my stack of documents today I came across my original door key. However the light is long gone and the key is cracked.
Is there anyway to repair this and bring it back? I searched the threads and could not find anything.

That would make for a great 3d printing project.

I used my Dremel and ground off the old epoxy that held it in. I then used an old Volvo key blank made by Ilco. I cut the head down to match the original that was in the lighted key. Then I just used a plastic epoxy to reset it in there. I can still take it apart to change the battery if I need to. I also upgraded to an LED.

It's unlikely to happen, but this is worth thinking about before posting photos like this: https://gizmodo.com/any-key-you-can-...ied-1522264272

I modeled a button to rebuild mine a few months ago.

You can 3D print it but you're on your own for the electronics. I pulled an LED and button from a cheap keychain and it fit perfectly. If you don't have access to a 3d printer, a lot of libraries have them and will print objects for you. I think ours charges 10 cents a gram.
