Nest Doorbell (Battery) cannot be reattached to the metal bracket (fixed)

[brodadski]

I've tried to reply to a previous post but it was locked.

So, if you experience like I did an issue with reattaching the doorbell into the metal bracket, boy I have a fix for you. I am surprised I cannot find it online as it is realy simple. I was preparing to return my doorbell on warranty claim after spending hours trying to reattach it after charging also looking online for a solution. Today I decided to use some WD40 and an compressed air can. Blew first the WD40 in the upper latch, here you put the release key (make sure you tape the USB-C slot, you don't want WD40 there) and started pressing with the release key a couple of times. Also put a bit of wd40 around the release pin then blew some air to make sure it gets inside and voila, the pin popped out and I can reattach it again. Hope this helps!
