More than likely it's just the key is bad. Only thing I can think of to check, is if the new batteries are misinstalled or just bad out of the box.
I am trying to think if on a 97 there was some sort of flash indicator for the operation of the remote. Possibly the same end that the blade flips out of there is a small red window, you would operate the remote and be looking for a red flash, which indicates the remote is operating. You could post a few pics of the key if you want.
For replacing the key blade, if you hold the blade in the half-opened position and look at the side, you will see a tiny roll pin, you would need to knock that out with a tiny pin punch. Then the blade will pull out.
