I have to add a new cable and I can open it. I don't have enough room to slide it off and have tried many things to pry it open. Help?

If you start on one end and just bend the corner out on one side it will come off. You pull the corner up the slowly move your way down one side until you get to the other side. Don't pry it off. Getting it back on is the fun part. I just hooked one side and then poped the other side back on. I have only done this once and it didn't break so good luck.

do you have any room to slide it up or down at all? do that and fish the cable thru. I wouldn't prying it off as it might break.

Loosen that screw looking thing on the side that shows a lock and unlock then slide the cover open. I struggled with this also, but sliding the cover is the key.

None. And you may need a special screwdriver to get it out if apple put a pair of their flowery-shaped screws on the outside. If the screws at the bottom are regular old (very small) Phillips screws, you're good to go with a tiny Phillips head. Like as not though you'll need a special screw driver. Once you have one though, replacing the battery is easy-peasy, take 5 minutes. Might need a little plastic splurger to gently pry up the cable but that's easy enough.

Opening in the box is too tight. I might suggest getting a short 3' extension that is usually used for power packs. I could not find the 'three pak' listing but try this C&E CNE46058 1-Foot Extension Power Cable, 5-Pack

The end of the cable has a plug that fits in a hole through the outer sleeve and the inner slide box. When you unlock it, the plug pulls out and you can then slide the inner box off the sleeve and retrieve the contents.

find the opening spaces and open those, then you can pop the case open. It is a bit frustrating at first, because you feel as though you may break it, but you won't.

I couldn't figure out how to remove the old cable, so I just removed the new one and stuck the old cable to the new screen. Just peel it off like a sticker. I have removed it a few times since then. It doesn't seem to be very picky.

Just to add to the other answers. It is a tight fit in my car, so it doesn't come out up I pull on the cable. But there is enough length to grab it with your thumb and index finger for removal.

I had that problem only 1 time, but I blamed it on the freezing temps that maybe the lock was frozen. Make sure you try to push the key in and down slightly and try to turn it. I found one time that the cable wasnt fully locked in the place and it wouldnt let me remove key unless I wiggled it around a little bit.

Disassemble and make sure the final cable (can't remember what it is called.. But it's the last thing you do before you start re screwing everything together) is clamped good. I had to give it 2 tries before this worked. Good luck!

There's a compartment on the side that you can slide open. I don't remember exactly in that I replaced this item with one that actually worked, so I don't have it to look at anymore. I gave this a poor review.

Hi Susan .. there is a release inside the cover top right. you push down on it,it's a sliding release. That should open the compartment. I also thing the unit needs to be unlocked ( if there is a code ) I had the same problem with mine, but unfortunately it was stolen ( even with a cable lock ) very soon after my first use. So I never got a change to test it much.

Not hard, just loosen the cable clamps pull the cable through, and retighten the clamps.

There is an opening, but it does make the already hard to open port cover just slightly more difficult. You better have some long nails! JK, it's not too bad.

I see no way to store cable because it is so small to make portable, Just chose connector needed and go

At the top end by the handle where the cord comes in, pull it up. It doesn't come easy but that will loosen it enough to just pull the insides up and out. Hope this helps.

Hi David! The easiest way that I do it is to pull the release clip to the front of me. I can get it open easier that way. Hope this helps!
