Is there a trick to replacing the battery cover, because I can't, even with a hammer!

I agree that it isn't the most trivial thing to do but perhaps it is this way by design so you don't need a screwdriver (in addition to your hammer). Install the battery door by inserting it on a slight angle with the arrows pointing toward the front wheels. The door slides horizontally on top of 10 tiny plastic nubs (5 on each side) that are in the battery compartment. With the door flush, slide it backwards towards the slot in the rear of the compartment. I find it easier to do if I apply a little pressure to the large clip while sliding it into the slot. Good luck!

Just unscrew the phillips screw located on cover of the machine,pull battery out disconnect positive and negative dispose of battery correctly,insert new battery hook positive and negative up slide in and screw cover back on

pull off the solver cover...then the battery will be able to taken out and replace or what ever you need to do. obviously observe the polarity of the positive & negative when you replace cover.

I purchased a replacement battery and they have changed the battery posts - so it is not easy. I had to solder the new battery in place.The new battery has slip on posts and the old one was attached with a small screw and nut. Bah Humbug....

(1) Hold device steady with one hand, then grip the clear dust/lint compartment and slide it "down" (away from the cutter head). (2) Now notice the battery compartment cover (little images of batteries when you look closely. This battery compartment cover has a small tab on its left side. (3) With just a little gentle force (perhaps using an index finger or a SMALL screwdriver), just push the tab ever so slightly away from the edge (towards the center) and the battery compartment cover should easily come off. (4) Insert four size-C batteries with correct polarity (as indicated on the battery compartment cover) and replace battery cover and slide dust/lint compartment back into place.

you can fix the battery yourself. if you have about 10 mins and a soldering iron. 1.use a small razor knife, work around battery casing cutting through the glue. corners are the hardest part. dont cut all the way through. be careful not to cut your pinkie and use care when trying to open casing. Just go slow and dont force anything. you need the old casing!!!!after opening clean off ledges on casing. the batteries have a part number on them. go on line and buy a couple. under $3 apiece. use solding iron to remove and install new one/ones. note how they are wired up and install same way,,, put back together and use just a dab of crazy glue. peace you can fix the battery yourself. if you have about 10 mins and a soldering iron. 1.use a small razor knife, work around battery casing cutting through the glue. corners are the hardest part. dont cut all the way through. be careful not to cut your pinkie and use care when trying to open casing.

You're not able to take the back off to change the battery without a special screwdriver

Twist off the top plastic cover and take out the old battery. Replace it with new and put cover back on

i did not find it difficult at all....need to remove some screws to remove the cover panels. once the cover panels(side covers} are off simply remove the POS+ and neg - terminals and replace the battery.

Hi Gayle - Turn the entire unit until it lines up with the box...drop it in ---seal it and return it to Amazon!!! Order A FOFA XD and walk away its a great unit from Amazon and you don't need power tools to change the battery. Best Regards, Tim S.

The following is from a comment from an Amazon customer who purchased the mouse: "I realize I wasn't thinking outside of the box enough, but it took me five minutes (I actually timed this) to figure out how to take off the battery cover. There's a button on the bottom of the mouse to depress, but when I pushed it, nothing happened. I figured the cover was stuck so eventually I tried prying it off with various sharp objects, but I succeeded only in gouging the plastic. Turns out that what appears to be the cover is not. The cover that comes off is in fact that part of the mouse you'll likely be holding when you press the cover release button. It's horribly counterintuitive, and the diagram in the directions does nothing to help you out here." Hope this helps.

I can't see any way to remove the battery compartment, look like all one piece to me. there's nothing in the instruction manual neither. I'll take a picture of it if that helps.

Thanks Brianlatz! I swear I couldn't figure out how to put the battery in so I finally just decided to shove it in. But then the little ring wouldn't fit. Now I can't take it out. I thought there must have been an easier way. Thank god for google which led me here. lol. Geez. How the hell am I going to take the battery out now???

I had the same problem. Swollen battery and I couldn't get it to budge. A google search that worked for me was to take a drill with a skinny bit and drill down into the battery, making sure you only drill down half way through the battery. Remove the drill. Use a hex key small enough to insert into the hole you made, or a skinny nail. I had the wife hold onto the remote and I took a hammer and started tapping on the hex key until the battery eventually pride out. I did slide a metal nail file under the battery to provide the lift needed to remove the batter from the compartment as it is sunken down in the remote. I ordered a replacement batter here for around 18 bucks. Hope this is helpful. I had the same problem. Swollen battery and I couldn't get it to budge.

you can remove one side of the plastic cover, use a knife or something thin to start removing it next to the metal ring. Only one side will come off. then pull out the light and battery holder and replace the batteries

If you look at the battery cover on the back, you will see a small tab. With your fingernail or something like a popsicle stick catch the slightly pointed end and push it to to battery cover, closing the 1/8" gap, When it touches the battery cover, lift it. You are correct, it's not the easiest one to open.

You need a small screwdriver, I believe a Phillips head, to open the battery compartment. You can replace battery. If it still doesn't turn on then you need to send back to replace.
