What you have is called a VATS key; it's not a computer chip, it's just a little resistor pellet. There are a limited number of resistor values that are used for these keys, so a locksmith should be able to have a replacement blank on hand and can cut you a new key. He'll be able to measure the resistance on the old key's resistor and find an exact duplicate. Nothing needs to be programmed; once you have a key with the right value resistor pellet that's cut correctly, it will work in your car.How do I get copies of the ignition key for my 2002 Buick Century?
