Hi

Have just bought a secondhand Panasonic NV-HS950B vcr (European model).
Seller was upfront that remote isn't working due to the small vcr/tv
plunge
button under the flip top being stuck down. Easily fixed think I...

Have removed the one small screw and am now faced with the still sealed
remote which flexes slightly open at the screwed end but is otherwise
locked
fairly tight.

Can anyone advise me on how to open this (particular) remote? In common
with so many others I assume it's either a pull or pry apart or maybe
sliding to unlock some catches but I'm a bit reluctant to go in full
steam
considering a replacement is around £90!!

Get one of those 6" pocket type stainless steel rules and use the
rounded end to gently pry the two halves apart. Slide the rule along
the seam, while gently pulling the two halves apart. You may have to
angle the rule slightly as you go. There will be several small
latches, and once started, the rest will separate fairly easily. Works
on most remotes, and doesn't mar the finish like a screwdriver does.

Also, make sure there aren't any hidden screws under labels, etc.

thanks Alan - that's some helpful detail - I'll go slow and steady!
