key fob kaput
The programming they mention is pairing to the car for the remote function to work.

They move the guts to a new key and swap in a fresh battery.

This will usually disrupt the pairing.

Does the laundered one still start the car? If so perfect candidate for refurbish.

I'm not sure if they move the EWS chip over to a new board or just moved the whole board and reflow the solder or what.
