How to open the case?

My remote control is not work. I found the battery was wet and has leaked. I would like to open the case to clean it up. I have removed two screws on the bottom, but could not open the case to get to the circuit board. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi,

Here is a link to a video which shows how to open a remote control unit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVr8eLW0...

This is a general guide on how to do it. It applies to most types of remote controls. Once the screws (if any) have been removed you need to separate the two halves of the remote. These are usually held together by small plastic clips.

In the video a small screwdriver is used to pry apart the two halves along the seam. I have found that if you use an old plastic credit card that you can achieve the same result especially if you start in a corner near the IR LED light. By using the card you will cause less cosmetic damage to the plastic case.
