The solder where the battery cradle attaches to the circuit board will be cracked.
Common problem. New remote time.

What I did with mine(EL but i'm going to assume they're similar) is fold up abit of paper or cardboard into a small square and stick it behind the positive terminal to make sure the battery stays secure againts the terminal.

Contact points could also be dirty so a rub with a cotton bud dipped in metho(or even just a dry cotton bud) will clean any built up grime off.

Another thing you can do is fold up a some paper or cardboard into a small square and place it underneath the buttons to make pressing/contact abit easier.

All these things helped me with the reliability of my smart lock remotes, hope it can be of help to you.

you need an iron with a fine tip, so you can get it between the battery carrier and the pcb.

if you think its too hard, post it up to me and I'll do it for you.
