This is my first Teardown! Please don’t be negative about it. But, Constructive Criticism is welcome.

On the back of the remote there will be a battery cover. Open it up.
-
-
-
See the little tab?
-
Use your Spudger to open it up
-
Voila! (Whatever that means...) Its open!
-
This is very hard to open without breaking the tab or your Spudger. The repairability score will take a hit.
-

-
-
Let’s start by removing the red thing.
-
Now pull out the PCB. (It is best to pull by the springs.)
-
-
-
Pull out the button pad.
-
Now, pull out the spring.
-
And thats it!
-
-
-
A total of 7 parts. (I was expecting more.)
-
I would give this a repairability score of 8 out of 10.
-
I almost Broke by Spudger =(
-
Insanely hard to open.
-
Easy to disassemble... once open.
-
No screws. (No Screws to lose! No need remember which screw goes where.)
-
Easy to assemble...unless the tab was broken.

This is a great first teardown! =) Keep it up!
Thanks! I would do more but I don’t have much junk to disassemble that I don’t need.

Hi @captainsnowball ,
FYI
voilà French exclamation - meaning “There it is!” or “There you are!”
The “red thing” in Step 3 is most probably an IR filter, to filter out visible light to improve IR operation
Ran into this while trying to clean an old RM U204. To anyone else looking to clean a 23 year old stereo receiver remote: the latch at the bottom doesn't work quite the same. The loop is connected to the bottom plastic instead, but starting there also got me to the finish line.
There are four latches on each side, requiring you to pull the top cover outwards. You will not open it without breaking some of them, and plastic prying tools will break against this rock. The plastic is soft, and your screwdriver will very easily damage it.
To Sony: why.
I'm just trying to repair my Sony RM-862 (which is a great remote btw!) and came here to get guidance for opening it. I already broke 2 spudgers, but it's finally open. Thank you so much for this tutorial! :)
