I assume you are inserting the fob in the receiver the correct way up, buttons upwards Question

To split open - pull out the emrgency key - then put in a screwdriver and use it as a lever to crack the case open - it is sealed all the way around - that's it basically.

There are some photos in my gallery that may help.

I just super glued it closed once the new battery was soldered in place. 2002 Honda VFR800

Key fob will work when inserted either way up. However, it will only recharge when inserted the correct way up (writing and pics uppermost)
