Put a coin in the slot then twist.

 

[AndyRoo789]

Still not working..
when it twist it, it just shaves the plastic off, doesnt move at all.

 

[richardzhang]

twist anti clockwise

 

[AndyRoo789]

yea i know, but when i twist it, it doesnt move at all. It just shaves the plastic off..

 

[richardzhang]

get a big flat head and twist really hard

 

[AndyRoo789]

thats what i tried at first, and like a coin, it just ruins the plastic.

 

[richardzhang]

give us a vid of it

I've had this happen before. Turns out the cap was already turned CCW all the way and the cap was just stuck a little. I just hit it against a table(not too hard) and it popped out.

This may or may not be your problem however.

LOL! The best method is not to have a method....or just bang it against the table. :rolleyes:

maybe it helps if you jut push the battery? mine has a problem.. the black stuff what should push the battery down is a pit.. defected. and I put a huge paper ball in there.. now it works. I got it open with a pocket knife bottle openers other side. First time it moves hard.
