Hello
I would like to know how to remove the batteries out of the interfaced.
I've turned the end using 1/2p coin but cannot get the cover to eject.

Thanks


The discoloration at the bottom of the hinge, hints at
where the batteries hide. 3xAA battery of some sort.

In that case, the OP should shake it hard in the direction of the hinge?

If the batteries have corroded inside, it may be tricky opening the
battery compartment and even trickier removing the old batteries. If he
only uses it occasionally, it may be sensible to tape an external
battery holder on the outside and bypass teh internal batteries.

I see that someone has one of these on ebay for £150, but there's a mk3
for £8.
