Broken battery door latches? Try a simple practical solution.

If you need to replace the batteries in your DM75 Royal personal organizer, here are general steps you can follow. Keep in mind that the specific process may vary slightly depending on the model:
1. **Locate the Battery Compartment:**
Look for the battery compartment on the back or bottom of your DM75 Royal personal organizer. The compartment is typically secured with a screw or latch.
2. **Open the Battery Compartment:**
Use a small screwdriver or coin to open the compartment. If there is a screw, turn it counterclockwise to release it. If it's a latch, slide or press it to open the compartment.
3. **Remove Old Batteries:**
Take note of the orientation of the old batteries (positive and negative terminals). Remove the old batteries from the compartment.
4. **Insert New Batteries:**
Insert the new batteries, making sure to align them correctly with the positive and negative markings inside the compartment. Follow the same orientation as the old batteries.
5. **Close the Battery Compartment:**
If there was a screw, secure it back in place by turning it clockwise. If it was a latch, close the compartment securely.
6. **Test the Personal Organizer:**
Turn on your DM75 Royal personal organizer and check if it powers up. Ensure that the display is functioning correctly.
7. **Set Date and Time (if necessary):**
If your personal organizer has a clock function, you may need to set the date and time after replacing the batteries.
Please note that the above steps are general instructions, and the design of battery compartments can vary between models. If you encounter any difficulties or if your specific model has unique features, it's advisable to refer to the user manual that came with your DM75 Royal personal organizer. The manual should provide detailed instructions on battery replacement and other essential functions.
If you don't have the user manual, you can often find it on the manufacturer's website or contact Royal customer support for assistance.

To replace the battery on a remote, you will typically need to remove the back cover of the remote to access the battery compartment. Here are the general steps you can follow to replace the battery on a remote:

1. Locate the battery compartment: The battery compartment is usually located on the back of the remote and is typically held in place by a small latch or a screw.
2. Open the battery compartment: Depending on the design of the remote, you may need to use a small flathead screwdriver or a coin to open the battery compartment. Some remotes have a latch that you can slide to open the compartment, while others have a small screw that you will need to remove.
3. Remove the old battery: Once the battery compartment is open, you can remove the old battery by gently prying it out of the compartment using a small flathead screwdriver or a similar tool.
4. Install the new battery: Insert the new battery into the battery compartment, making sure that the positive and negative terminals are oriented correctly. The positive terminal is usually marked with a + symbol and the negative terminal is usually marked with a - symbol.
5. Close the battery compartment: Once the new battery is installed, close the battery compartment and secure it in place using the latch or screw.

If you are having difficulty removing the back cover of the remote or are unsure about how to properly install the new battery, you may want to refer to the owner's manual for your specific remote or contact the manufacturer for assistance.

You need two SR1120 or type 391s.

1. Locate the Battery Cover: Look for the battery cover on the back of the remote control. It is usually a small compartment that can be easily opened.
2. Remove the Battery Cover: Depending on the design, there may be a latch, screw, or sliding mechanism to secure the battery cover. Use your fingers or a small screwdriver to open the compartment.
3. Remove Old Batteries: Take out the old batteries from the battery compartment. Pay attention to the orientation of the batteries, so you know how to insert the new ones correctly.
4. Check Battery Polarity: Take note of the positive (+) and negative (-) signs inside the battery compartment. Make sure to insert the new batteries with the correct polarity to match these markings.
5. Insert New Batteries: Place the new batteries into the battery compartment, ensuring they are properly aligned with the correct polarity. Press them down gently to make sure they are secure.
6. Replace Battery Cover: After inserting the new batteries, close the battery compartment cover securely. If it has a latch or screw, make sure it is fastened properly.
7. Test the Remote: Point the remote at the device it controls (such as a Toshiba TV) and test whether it responds to your commands. If the remote is working correctly, you have successfully replaced the batteries.
8. Dispose of Old Batteries: If the old batteries are no longer usable, make sure to dispose of them properly. Many communities have designated recycling locations for batteries.

The rechargeable battery has come to the end of its life. You'll need to replace the battery and let the new battery go through a complete charge cycle before using.

Unscrew battery compartment on the right grip, and remove the battery holder (AAA's in most Maxxum 7000's) In the compartment you should see a silver colored metal plate, held on by 6 small phillips screws. Unscrew these, and carefully lift the plate, and move it aside (there's a tiny wire soldered inside the plate, so don't break it off).

Inside there should be a CR2016 lithium button battery. Replace it, and reassemble in reverse order.
NOTE: This probably won't fix any issues regarding the removal of the film, as the 2016 is just a memory backup battery for when the main batteries are removed.

to remove the film, install fresh main batteries, turn on the camera via the "Lock" switch and rewind the film. on the back of the camera, just behind the LCD screen, above the film door, you will see a grey button marked "R". Push and hold it, while sliding the gray slide switch immediately to the left of it to the left. The film should now rewind.

When the film is done rewinding, open the back via the sliding latch on the left side of the body with the gray button in the middle. Push the button, while sliding the latch down.

To insert film, place the cartridge in the same place and orientation as the old roll, and pull the leader over to the red dot on the bottom right of the film compartment, and close the back. it should advance to the first frame if done correctly, or blink 0 if done wrong.

I'm having the same problem with my DSC-W1 camera. I dropped my camera and the battery door latches broke.
I found a replacement door on Ebay for $9.95
I followed the instructions in the description and easily removed the broken door from my camera. Now i'm just waiting on the new door to arrive so I could slide the new door in.
I hope this was helpful.

Here's the seller I bought the door from. Hopefully the seller has more doors. =) :
