Did you swap the transponder chip as well? Little black/grey thing

As Ronnie says above, you must swap over ALL the parts from the fob, I've done this myself and had the same symptoms. :xmas-smiley-005:

just to add, the chip is in the back part of the fob , not with the circuit board!

You haven't transferred the transponder, the little bit arrowed in this picture


I hope you haven't thrown away the old casing yet.....

....If you have don't despair, give BigRuss a shout, and I'm sure he'll sort your problem out.

Hope this helps
