Think this is the transponder chip. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/73/1003920sp0.jpg/ it should slot down the side. A new key from vauxhall is about 60 to 90 quid i think as they reprogram it. Ouch. It might just be a bit of the plastic retaining tab

Your transponder chip is in built onto the board. The chip in the pic is for older cars.

If its not working from the door or remote it sounds like a fuse blow.

Does it work from the button on the door on the inside?

you have to be carefull if you are going to try and take the battery holder of the board as it can be quit fiddly, and they are brittle putting to much heat on the holder will melt it.
