The battery is on the side of the remote. I had to take a pen and push on the button hard and then pull open the slide. underneath on right.

I haven't had to change mine yet. Had similar frustration with another remote and took it to Batteries Plus franchise and they figured it out. Chances are it will need a battery they sell and not available at Home Depot, etc. That's my suggestion.

Try flipping the battery over! I had mine in upside down! Otherwise call the company. My sister got a replacement remote for a different product from them.

The battery has a plastic protective coating that will prevent the remote from working if not removed before use. Steve.

Use a eyeglass screwdriver or something similar and insert it into the notch on the bottom front the remote. Gently pry it open to access the batteries.

Go to a battery store and have the battery tested. I know Batteries Plus sells a replacement battery and they are not cheap. If it is not the battery, it most likely is the remote. I bought a new one after having problems with the channels jumping randomly and am so much happier with the newer remote. My other one was about 4 years old.

It could be you have a bad battery. My suggestion to you is, to return the remote back to the seller and have them send you a new one. I haven't had any problems whatsoever.

The remote does have a battery in it. It's not a standard size, but I would try changing that.

There is a pin on the exterior, remove pin, turn the unit slightly and let it down. Squeeze the power holding cable connector to release it from unit. The battery compartment is in the bottom, open replace exactly as you remove and relock the battery door. Replace as you removed.

If you mean that you want to remove the rear cover I doubt that could be done without breaking the remote. The battery is accessible by pushing the small tab on the side of the tray towards the tray and sliding the tray out. Look at the diagram on the back cover of the remote. Hope this helps.

I just replaced my replaced my broken remote with a new one. All I did was look in battery compartment and set dip switch to match the setting on the broken unit. Works perfect...

When replacing battery you have to reprogram the remote.The instructions are on the back of the remote.It says"Disconnect light from power.Depress and hold on/off button while reconnecting power.Release on/off button after 6 seconds".

I had the same issue. Basically the batteries are not connecting properly. It is a very poor design. The fix is simple thankfully. Removed the batteries and use a pair of pliers or whatever you have and grasp the center of the battery terminal coil and pull it outward. This will stretch it into a position where it can actually contact the battery and hopefully will work. This did work for me. You will not need to take the remote completely apart, just remove the battery cover and the batteries.

Danee, not that I am aware of, I have replaced the batteries in both of my remotes without loss of programming

it's your typical cr2025 3v flat round battery. You can find them in most radio shacks or even krogers/ralphs or major markets. To open your remote, ther'e a little rectangular opening about an inch up, and i'm talking small, 2 centimeters wide? well push that in with a pen tip or small screwdriver while pulling down where that indentation at the bottom edge of the remote and it slides out. the rectangular part is what's locking it in place.

There is a battery compartment on the back of the remote. There is a small tab that you press to release the compartment. It is a "watch battery."
