Is it possible the buttons have become de-soldered?

I wonder if the battery has died? If it has, it may be a simple process to get the central locking working again (once you have a new battery in it), and that is by turning the key to the main position (not starting the car), and then pressing a button on the key (any will do).

It does depend on what electronics should have been in there in the first place.
