Do any of the other buttons on the remote work, like the horn or trunk-open buttons? If they do, then you might have a blown fuse or relay switch for the specific problem. On my Grand Am, there are relays for "Door Lock", "Door Unlock" and "Driver Door Unlock".
Testimonial: "no, all the buttons don't work, while the LED of the remote flashes when i press any button. it seems that the control unit in the car is not working properly..."

Actually I found a solution. I remove the lock relay form the fuse panel and placed it back in place. I did not replace it. After doing this they worked. I probably need to replace the relay at some point, but for now that solved the problem. It was hard for me to believe that there is a separate relay for the lock and unlock circuit.

I had the same problem. The dealer thought I was crazy when I explained the problem. They would drive the car and then try it and obviously it worked. They said it was fixed. It happened again. So they replaced the remote saying there was an internal failure. It still was a problem. They finally called chevy headquarters and found out there is an updated receiver for the 2007 model. I installed it and now it works. Good thing it was still under warranty.

At first look, I would have guessed that your battery in the door opener was dead, but that is not the case. I suggest driving to a nearby Chevy dealer and ask one of the salesman if he/she can help. They have always been helpful to me. If not try another one as they are in business to sell not only cars, but service also. They will be your best bet to fixing it. :D
