Default key fob not working

Recently, I had to replace my battery since it went dead (it sat during a season of inactivity).
It is now driving like before but the key fob does not work.
Is there anyway I can fix this myself and not have to take it to a chevy dealership?
Thank you in advance for any help

Simple things first. Did they work before? If so, did you hold the lock and unlock button at the same time until the horn beeps? This will retrain the fobs to the car after a change of battery.

I had a major problem with my 1998 Corvette key fobs. They were repaired by C4fob, they have worked fine for the last three years. You can find her on the C4 site.
