Key fob

[Pam]

Hi

I'm new to this forum. I have a astra elite turbo and today i went to start it and it wouldn't turn over, nothing. We called out the AA hoping it was maybe a flat battery,  but after trying several times with jump leads  they suspect its a problem with the key. Can anyone shed any light on this, we don't have a spare key to try. Sounds like it could be expensive.  I just don't know what to do. 

Look forward to your comments. 

Regards

Hi Pam....welcome to the Forum

My first thoughts were that with the lack of use during the lockdown that the battery has gone flat

If it is the original battery, even jump starting won't have much of an effect on starting if the cells are dead.
Maybe worth trying a new (good quality) battery and see how you get on
