Question

How can I open my remote control?

Hi.

My remote's power button is not responding lately. So I need to open my remote to open it up in order to reach the power button.

Can you help me how to do it? And even how to fix it?

Unfortunately the model of my remote has been cleaned. But I believe there is a basic way to fix it.

Thanks for your great work. I've been chasing your works. You're awesome.

Thanks ifixit Team.

Greetings, Alireza.

Hi,

Here is a link which shows how to open a remote control. It really starts showing at about 2:00 minutes into the video. I have found that the wider the blade of the implement used to open the case the easier it is to open and the less damage is caused. Screwdrivers can cause a lot of cosmetic damage. I use a 1" paint scraper to great effect.
