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/628088I tried it and it worked slick as a whistle, and as described, the battery fell out.

Its easy... the body of the remote housing is split.Hold the top part right under the HOME button and the red power button. Then pull the long part and it slides open to give access to the battery

If you have an iphone/ipod or android operating system, there is a free logitech app for squeezebox radios available. There is no comparison to the functionality over the original remote - it's just that much better. Have no idea what the universal remote options are but you can't beat free.

Connie, I'm honestly not sure. We tried to pry it open, because you can see a battery in there. I suppose you can change it- if you can get to it! Seems impossible to open.

Never tried to open the remote, but have you checked the battery or tried a new battery? Mine was acting screwy until I did this.

Try flipping the battery over! I had mine in upside down! Otherwise call the company. My sister got a replacement remote for a different product from them.

I had trouble with swapping the battery. I think I had two batteries of the right size, pried this open just fine, but once I FORCED the two batteries in, they were too tall (by the tiniest amount) and were constantly pressing on the chip's button. Has anyone run into that? I'll see if I can find those batteries that didn't fit and double-check their type.

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

The battery is not holding charge. Unless you are savvy w/ opening the remote case & replacing the battery, might as well send it back for a replacement.

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 haven't owned this remote for awhile (I have a new camera), but I think if you look at the battery, it's a large button type and will have a numberon it. I believe if you take the battery to a place like Walmart or Target you can easily get a replacement for it at the jewelry counter or in the electronics section. If that fails, try a battery store like Interstate Batteries or Batteries+.

Did you put a fresh battery in your remote prior to attempting to program? I was having trouble then I did that and it worked. Even though my remote was showing no signs of a low battery I had read to do that.

Yes I had the same issue - It's been a while but I believe I found that the "sticker" cover on the remote is upside down. once I pulled it off and turned it the remote worked fine. Now it's horrible on battery life but that's a separate issue. My daughter didn't like it anyway so I have one that was used like twice and now sits in her closet.

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 had mine for a little over a year. Batteries needed changing 5x, but some of the batts were used. While i love the remote replacing 5 others for me, the fact that it gives little to no notice of needing batt replacement is stressful. I go thru panic at why it is only partially responding. Is it my tv, my xfinity box, the remote or what? One time it briefly showed a red batt image, but i have never seen that again. Seems like it should be a basic user friendly notice....not presenting as you may have a major failure.

Your number does not match any of the old batteries that I have or the new battery. But the new battery seems to fit my old mouse's OK.I have been through two Gyration mouse's, and I bought a third with a replacement battery. I have a theater type situation, where I have a large screen TV sitting about ten or twelve feet away. I saw a new keyboard from Logitech No. K830. It has a built-in track pad/touchpad and backlit. http://blog.logitech.com/2014/04/09/shedding-light-on-pc-to-tv-entertainment/When I switch over to the third mouse, I will be getting the Logitech keyboard, I think.
