Why Won T Battery Door Will Not Open On Apple Remote Model No A1156 Mac Hardware

Chosen Solution

Would like to replace the battery in my Apple Remote. No matter what I try, the push/release mechanism will not release the battery tray. Any way to get this door open without damaging the device?

+ need to get a paper clip or sort, and push down into the little hole and it flips open, to replace battery. battery type is a Panasonic CR2032 3V Good luck

This seems to work only with the new “silver” remotes. I cannot find any way to open the original White ones. Does anyone have information on disassembling the white A1156 EMC 2086 models?
