Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
The battery leaked and now I'm unable to open the battery cover. I took it to an Apple store but they are charging me $69.00 to replace it because it's already out of warranty. They tried to open it as well but was unsuccessful. Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
After taking off the central cover on the battery slot on the back, the first battery popped out fine, from there I used the widest flat head screw driver I could find and a hammer to get the side battery cover off. Smacked the **** out of it for about 2 minutes and it eventually started to loosen. Once I could see that it was starting to turn slightly, just work the top with a quarter twisting it back and fourth and eventually the top came off. Cleaned out the corrosion as best I could and now it works perfectly! Thank you so much guys!
Good idea. I think this is the way to go.
Bluetooth keyboard battery cover is stuck/fused - how do you open it?
