[To which I say:]
Easy.

First of all you will need to gather some tools:

Drill with 1/2" bit.
Hacksaw.
Hammer.
Router with 1/2 roman ogee bit.
Can of 3-in-one oil.

Once you have gathered these tools, put them to one side as you won't be needing them after all. Now, wipe the sweat
from your face. There - doesn't that feel better?

Ok. Remove the back of the case by unscrewing the four black screws and gently pry apart. The exposed lip on the battery
tray may be enough to grab and free. In any case, the latch mechanism is now accessable. If you still can't get it out,
you can remove the internal battery tray cover by removing the gold screws ant the terminal end and un-snapping the
bottom edge.

...if you still can't get it out, perhaps you should consider the toll list after all!

PCBman
