It is likely just a dead battery. After all it is about 10 years old and rechargeable batteries will only last so long. Anyway, here's a link to a DIY for replacing the key fob battery if you feel adventurous:

I'd wait until you get your new key and are sure that's working before attempting a battery replacement. Good luck!
