Open the keypad up and clean the battery contact plates. Bend them before you refit the battery so that it fits in tighter. Should work ok then as long as the battery is ok.

Yep had the same prob, but it turned out to be the button itself, same as a mouse button they do go bad, the fix was to glue a small peice of rubber off an old computer keyboard to the rubber button to make it press harder on to the switch.
