Did you remove the screws? You remove the from the back (the end with the connectors and switch) then just pull on the black plastic part.

Sorry I did not have any trouble opening it by just pulling up on it. I suggest instead of breaking it just returning it to Amazon or going online to Sylvania and get the manual if its posted and see how it opens. My wife and I shared it on a flight last week and it worked fine.

When I first received this it was extremely hard to open it, just kept trying and it opened. Sorry, not a big help but my experience. -Peace

There should be a small hole on the bottom (middle of the bottom)...we inserted an unfolded paperclip and wiggled until it opened. We had trouble with this too and also wondered why there were no tools/instructions included...Sorry I can't be more helpful!!

I don't know either. I tried to keep it open by placing a straight pin in the opening but now I can't get that out either. It is a problem.

Well for me it's somewhat difficult to open. Maybe with constant opening and closing would help.. I hope this helps you.

I use a butter knife and wedge it under the edge of the lid and then try sliding it across so that I can pry it off. Sometimes it's easier to pry open when it's not overfilled. Good luck! Hope this helps.

It is not easy... especially the first time! Look for the "latched" part on the long edge. Kind of push in the one part and pry the other apart. Once it has been opened, it is a little easier the next time. Hope this helps a little. I'm sorry I don't know how to be more specific in writing.

Had the same problem...you have to push the small gray button on the bottom up, while at the same time sliding the compartment open to the side. Hope this helps!

Had to do the same thing. Force it open brand new. Does not make a lot of sense to me.

As far as i know you can't open it - so i use an air compressor or a can of the air bomb that they use for computers !!! Hope this helps you !!

I've used a butter knife between the bottom of the lid and the side of my thumb to pry it open. Just be careful not to spill it everywhere!

You have to gently pry it open using a fingernail or similar small object. Here's a picture of the opened enclosure: http://d.pr/i/fNMS

Yeah....opening it by hand is tough. I use a small screwdriver too. No accidental opening likely.

I would try to find something to fit in the button to open it back up. From what I remember on mine there is a tiny button to push in there.
