For some reason, my remote was very difficult to open, I tried sticking sharp objects into the slot, nothing worked. I dropped it on my kitchen floor from holding it high, and that opened it, didn’t break the whole thing, and it worked. My batteries are changed. I don’t have to order a new remote from Amazon.
Thank you soooo much! I was literally going to throw the remote away. After stabbing myself many times with a screwdriver, I finally managed to get a gap big enough to push the top away from the back part to be slid off. Thanks again.
Mine doesn't have arrows or that flip thing. The back has a solar panel. Beneath the solar panel is a small sun symbol and a small battery symbol. That's it.
BS, anyone can change the batteries if they can get it open. Thanks for doing the hard part too fast to see which way you're flipping it around and where you are pressing and which way you're pushing. Sheesh.
i was having trouble with that too if you havent figured out by now try and put your fingernail in the little gap between the top of the remote and the cover and push down it worked for me
If your back is stuck its because your remote is dirty. I had to scrape out the opening seam and then use rubbing alcohol before I banged the remote on my coffee table before it loosened enough to open. I then deep cleaned it with more scrapping and alcohol after it was open to make sure it didn't get glued shut again. All your body oil, skin shedding, food grease, lotion have glued it shut.
😂 these comments are hilarious! Yeah, looks likes using a brand spanking new remote. Not one that's got 10 years worth of crumbs, dead skin, who knows what else gumming up the that tiny little gap. Luckily there was a set if tiny screwdrivers next to the new batteries in the junk drawer and I just used the smallest flat head to crack it open a bit.
In case it helps somebody else - push from the top and the bottom at the same time with both thumbs. If you try just one thumb at either end and your remote's cover is stuck you'll go insane. You'll also find that it's easier to cradle the remote without accidentally pushing in buttons on the face of the remote. As other's have said though - the designer of this remote is a complete halfwit. Typical style of substance (i.e., function) rubbish. May all your batteries last longer than advertised.
Can’t get the stupid thing open.
Push it from the bottom not the top this guy instructions don’t work
SO glad it's not just me! lol
@@skorpiogrl worst remote ever had, whoever designed this stupid thing should be fired.
Whomever designed this remote needs to be FIRED! It's the most difficult thing to open!
stupid design to be honest
Went way too fast on the sliding the back open. That's the part everybody is having a problem with.
EXACTLY!! I STILL can't open it.
Neither can I.
There is no obvious separation between the sections!
This was so helpful. Not sure why they designed the remote making the battery replacement process so counterintuitive. Thank you
My god so many other videos "just slide the back off" ARGH! You, sir, are a scholar and a gentleman, many thanks.

Bloody hell very hard to open
This is seriously the best solution. Drop it on the floor. That opened the damn thing! Thanks!🎉
@@Hamaska81just dropped mine and it started working again 😂
It feels like a freaking troll came into my house at night and superglued this remote together. It WILL NOT come off
I have this remote delivered today can't open it so upsetting. Just used sticking tape put on it and pull it down so easily slide it off

YOU ARE A GODDANG LIFESAVER! My TV's been on for hours 😂@@williamrobinson1211
@@bigbangsang1049 I agree. I still can't open mine.😢
A great step-by-step display. Although, I needed to use a knife point to get the back off. Thanks!
Thanks a ton, I STILL couldn't do it after his all so polite demonstration.
See I'm not alone getting the thing open. I only need to put batteries in it because i want to use it for my learning remote.

Hercules couldnt even get the back cover off with the Hulks help. This is ridiculous.
I tries to push to get it open. Didn't work. Dropped it on floor. Didn't work. Put the remote up high & dropped it. Worked
Yay just say it!!! Flat side of battery goes to spring side - nipple to nipple!😅
Still can’t open it ! 😢😢😢😢
Me either!!!

Beat the crap out of it used plyers, came off.stupid design
So, I had to throw my remote on carpet on top of concrete to loosen the top in order to gain access to the battery compartment. POOR DESIGN SAMSUNG!!!
