How do you change the battery in the remote?? Has anyone noticed that there are NO directions on opening it? They don't even list he type of battery used! Logitech wants to force you to buy their expensive "Universal remote"!

Neither of ours has needed a new battery yet, but I found this online: http://forums.logitech.com/t5/Squeezebox-Players/SB-Boom-Remote-Battery-Replacement/td-p/628088 I tried it and it worked slick as a whistle, and as described, the battery fell out.

We've had our Harmony 676 for about 3 years. I replaced the batteries early in December and got the "replace batteries" message again before the end of the month. Maybe the batteries weren't very fresh. That's the fastest the remote has used batteries.MJH

I have a Logitech Harmony 900 remote. To replace battery turn the remote to the back side and at the bottom of the remote is a small button, push button in and slide cover in the down position. That reveals battery compartment. Reach in and push battery "in and up" it is spring loaded then remove. To replace with the three gold connections facing "in" push al the way back and it will lock in place. It will only go one way if it doesn't lock in turn battery over 180 Degrees with connectors pointing in and it will lock in place. Replace cover and turn on.

I responded to this in detail some months back. There are dozens of comments online. You should know I have the Harmony One, but the specifics of this battery pertain. They are not legitimate Logitech batteries and we had a miserable experience. Long post here http://www.amazon.com/review/R3P8J704QQZ9Z0/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B003TX2N14I suggest you just bite the bullet (it's an expensive remote) and order from Logitech.

There is a small round indentation on the bottom of the remote..press on this and it will very slightly open. You can then pry it open to remove the old battery. It's a little awkward. Hope this helps.

Try to reprogram the one that doesnt seem to work. I learned how to program my new remote on youtube. It was pretty odd, but it worked. The old one still works too.

I had a remote that stop working, I changed the battery, still did not work. I order a new one. Sometimes thing just goes out. Good luck.

Not trying to be sarcastic, but did you pull plastic from battery ? I was trying to use mine until I noticed I forgot to remove it. Other than that mine was automatic with my Sony. Hope you get it working. Also, I had to put my camera on a different setting to allow the remote control, I'm not sure on yours but I went into settings and changed it.

If I recall correctly, this is the battery I ordered and it worked. Just make sure the description says the model number of your remote! You can also call Logitech with the battery type number to verify. Logitech no longer sells this battery. They referred me to buy it from Amazon when I required a replacement. Replacement Battery for Logitech Harmony Remotes: 1000/1100/1100i

Yes - there is a little button on the bottom with a battery symbol. You have to press that down with one hand while you stick your fingernail under the end of the little cover that says "Logitech" closest to the battery button. It lifts up and pops off, like the trunk of a car. So non-intuitive not to mention awkward. Oh, and make sure you actually slide the other button to the "on" position or else it won't work, even if you get the batteries in correctly. Hope this helps!

Hi, this remote can be a challenge to open ☺. Hold it upside-down with the back of the unit facing you...place one finger on the small tab at the end of the battery cover and position your fingernail in the curved space at the top of the tab. Push in and down on the tab with your fingertip, and at the same time, pull the tab with your fingernail. Hope I'm making sense!

I had the same issue. Basically the batteries are not connecting properly. It is a very poor design. The fix is simple thankfully. Removed the batteries and use a pair of pliers or whatever you have and grasp the center of the battery terminal coil and pull it outward. This will stretch it into a position where it can actually contact the battery and hopefully will work. This did work for me. You will not need to take the remote completely apart, just remove the battery cover and the batteries.

The model number should be on the remote, my Logitech remote, said Harmony 880. That's what you need to put in when you're looking for a battery replacement part.

Go to a battery store and have the battery tested. I know Batteries Plus sells a replacement battery and they are not cheap. If it is not the battery, it most likely is the remote. I bought a new one after having problems with the channels jumping randomly and am so much happier with the newer remote. My other one was about 4 years old.

Hello, my dear friend, please do not be worried, have you pulled out the plastic chip from the battery of the remote controller? Would you please tell us your order ID? We will try our best to resolve the problem for you. Best regards, lemonbest

I'm having the same problem. Do you know if you unplugged the unit while it was on? This happened with mine, and it is the only thing I can think of that happened to it. It still doesn't answer the question of whether replacing the remote will help, unfortunately.
