Battery Won't Stay in

Hi Jayeff,

Yes, I used that same picture to try and figure it out. The only thing off from the picture was where the "left side" (when looking at the picture) of the part that holds the battery, was not sitting in its slot. I fixed that but still have the same issue. It looked exactly like the picture when I put it back together, yet it still fly's out. I mean to the point where if I don't have my hand there, the battery will shoot across the room.

Hi @rf09 ,

Being bent certainly wouldn't help.

Your device seems to be missing the mechanism that is shown in the images of the motherboard teardown.

I think (and I may be totally wrong as I don't know the remote) is that the outside edge of the battery pushes the +ve spring forward making contact for the +ve side of the battery.

I think that this action of the spring moving also moves the latch holding the single U bend of the -ve spring allowing the spring to rise and contact the underside of the battery (-ve side).

When the battery is removed the +ve spring moves back and moves the mechanism that re-engages the latch on the -ve spring.

I cannot see any of this in your picture but I think that I can see some sort of mechanism attached to the springs in the images in the teardown

@jayeff yeah, it's tough for me to tell what is or isn't missing. The picture of the motherboard removal is very blurry. I would think if something had broken in mine a piece would have been rattling in the remote or come out when I opened it. I find it tough to tell. When I look inside, nothing looks like something broke off, but who knows? thanks for your input! I may have to move away from Logitech after 14 years. This remote was great, and my fifth harmony remote, but this issue makes me not want to buy another. I like physical buttons, so I don't like the LCD ones and the 650 is the worst I have had of the 5. Fortunately , I can use the app on my phone for now.
