When I was stationed onboard an aircraft carrier, many secure spaces had Vingcard. Me and my coworkers owned those locks. Reprogramming over 100 cards was never fun. Anyways to get back on topic, replace the lock. The internals of those locks failed a lot for us. We got pretty good about mixing and matching of parts from broke units to rebuild an in use one. But if you don't have a Vingcard graveyard, your SOL. Sorry to be a bearer of bad news. :(
