Something's loose inside and it's really starting to bug me... When I turn it on it sometimes work but mostly it won't turn on. my hypothesis is that piece is jamming the motor. Can someone help me??
Is this a good question?

Dropped my theragun mini and broke the on/off button, so I had no choice but to crack it open. See photo attached.

How did you crack it open?
Put it in a vise (gently, use cardboard), then place a heavy duty razor blade along the seam and smack it carefully with a small hammer. You need to break the glue seal- very tight. Working it, you'll eventually get a crack going and you can use screwdrivers to pry it open. The battery pack is daunting, however.

Hey Karl, was your battery pack still working? Can I buy it if you're not going to fix it?

@aidenc it's a pryjob! Take a quick look at this video to get an idea how it is put together.
While you work on your Theragun, take lots of pictures. Once you are done with it, take those pictures and create a guide for iFixit. That will help the next person that has the same problem as you do. It's easy and fun to create these guides. https://ifixit.com/Guide/new The iFixit community will appreciate this.

Video link is broken, Did TheraScam force a takedown?
If you suspect a free piece internal to your Theragun mini is causing it to malfunction, you can open the machine by following these steps: Check the guide for guidance, accumulate the essential tools, hit upon and take away any screws preserving the casing, cautiously open the device, take a look at and do away with any unfastened pieces, and reassemble the machine securely. If unsure, contact the producer or an expert for assistance.

did you manage to open the device without breaking it? I can't find the way to do it. If you have any picture or guide that help me, I would highly appreciate it :)
