    [e60] key stopped working ..help needed

    hi guys,
    suddenly, my master key stopped working (dropped keys on the floor), all seem to be ok, mean arms and disarms alarm, unlocking doors and boot but won't start the car ... when in ignition slot and turned to position 1 or 2 dash doesn't light up.
    Battery is ok as tried with Mick new one without joy ..
    any ideas how to fix it or how much will cost new one.
    thanks in advance
    kris

    Thats a doozy man , not sure where to go from here that chip can only ne written on once so recoding it is out if the question and if the transponder is still attached to the board then it just sounds like its shot :-(

    The lights should surely come on though, did the e60 not come with the wallet key and valet key?
