Hello service gurus,

I would like to ask a simple question. Hopefully this will be a very easy one for you, but I cannot find the way to do it myself.
I have TV Sony with remote control RM-887. The question is how to disassemble it. I removed the cover for batteries and unscrewed the bolt. But it does not open. Even if I push in all directions.

Please help if you have some experience. I don't want to break it.

In general, majority of remotes(including Sony) are snapped together & not meant to be taken apart easy. It can be difficult & requires a rather strong Grip to squeeze the sides just enough to release the tabs.. Something to get used to doing without distorting the case.
Can try prying on a corner with something soft like a wooden Q-tip to start, but more likely will not look good afterward & may end up with a mess not counting the possibility of finger cuts /nicks.

Unless you know what you are doing, it's not worth it.

Thank you for the reply.

You are right that it seems it's not meant to be disassembled this remote control. I will leave it until it still works. Although some buttons are not performing very well and all the time. I changed the batteries but some buttons are still not working from time to time, or you have to press them stronger.

I will have to search for a new one maybe...

Hi there,
I have the same problem as you alex_gs Smile. Did you manage to disassemble the remote? If you did - please let me know how did you do that.

the best way to take apart a remote is to use a guitar pick.slide it in the crack and slide along,putting moderate pressure.

I used a guitar pick to disassemble the remote. It worked well, as far as I see, I did not damage anything.
