keith reeder Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 <p>It'd help to know which camera, Debra.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_thomas8 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 <p>Alas, don't see much to go on here. As Keith suggests, the specific camera model might be useful info. I also am wondering: how old is the battery pack and has the camera been in frequent use or has it sat in a closet for a year and half? Under the latter condition I could believe a failed battery might have leaked some gunk and corroded some mechanical parts.</p> <p>In general, providing detailed information in a question produces better answers.</p> <p>Dave T</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael.gregory Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 <p>Well, a drill and a wood screw usually will work.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarah_fox Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 <p>Maybe try sticking some really sticky tape to it and pulling? Maybe superglue something to it and pull?<br> If it's a lithium battery, it probably has a latch.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Ian Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 <p>I like hot glue. a little less risky than setting a screw into a (presumably) Li-Ion cell. Even 'dead' (as in to low a charge to turn on the camera), a lithium Ion battery can easily contain enough energy to complete destroy the camera, if released rapidly (BTDT).</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_thomas8 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 <p>On my EOS40D I believe I could grab the BP511 pack with long needle nose pliers for some extra oomph, but it may nest or seat differently in different models. Alas, so far we are missing way more useful problem details than we have!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
