Regardless of all the pressure I can muster, the back of the remote will not open. Any suggestions I have seen online have only made what I already know and have already tried as above. If there are no other suggestions, I will return it to Amazon.</P> Thu, 30 Oct 2025 19:43:11 GMT https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Streaming/Unable-to-open-Chromecast-remote/m-p/760037#M85523 wayneswerld 2025-10-30T19:43:11Z https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Streaming/Unable-to-open-Chromecast-remote/m-p/760998#M85577 <P><SPAN>Hi </SPAN><A href="https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/809763" target="_blank"><SPAN>wayneswerld</SPAN></A><SPAN>,</SPAN></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><SPAN>Thanks for reaching out to our community.</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN>I understand that you have just received a new replacement Chromecast remote, but the back cover won't budge to allow battery installation, even after applying firm pressure and trying online tips.
