Battery compartment fix - the metal piece at the bottom of battery holder has broken off

Battery holder is under bottom cover. Remover large silver screw. Clean battery holder in case of leakage

This is what i did to make it work (by pure guesswork).
1. take the battery holder thing out.
2. see black arrow on side of battery holder, that needs to point toward the led end when you insert it.
3. Look at the end of the battery holder, at the end that will go in first when you insert it. On each end there is that silver metal circle that has some silver metal extensions that go straight across the bottom.
4. look into the flashlight toward the led end. See the green circular circuit board thing. You'll see that equally around that circular base, there are 4 little squares of metal right to the edge of the green base, equidistant around the green circle. Carefully insert the battery holder with the silver metal strip on the holder lined up so each end of that strip will touch one of the 4 little square metal things on the edge of the green circuit board. The goal is that when the battery holder is all the way in, the two metal extensions coming out from the little circular metal piece on the end of the battery holder will each touch one of the little square metal pieces on the green base.
5. Screw on the lid and click the end to turn on the light. I tried this two times and both times it worked. If it doesn't turn on you might want to try to reinsert it again and get it more carefully lined up.
Good luck.

Not a minor repair. You have to remove two circuit boards and their attached wiring to replace, plus the camera covers

Since many Sony headsets use the BP-HP550-11 battery pack, I assume your battery pack is the same. If not, I assume whatever battery pack your headset came with, it is some type of plastic holder that holds two batteries together. Even though you can use regular AAA batteries (that you would have to replace often), there is a huge convenience factor with using the charging cradle that comes with the Sony headset. A solution I found was that I ordered some 550 mAh AAA batteries through Ebay (they came from England and cost me $8 total for four batteries). To make them work in the Sony headset you MUST use the bottom part of the plastic battery holder piece (all you need to do is peel off the BP-HP550-11 label and the bottom half of the plastic battery holder piece slips off of the Sony batteries). Then just slip in the new AAA batteries into the plastic battery holder bottom and then insert into the headset. The reason why you must use the bottom of the battery holder plastic piece is because the plastic piece pushes on a little switch. This switch activates the charging mechanism to enable the cradle charger to charge the batteries.

NOTE: I am not an electronics expert so I do not know if there would be any problem using other rechargeable AAA batteries (with higher mAh ratings). So I decided to be safe than sorry and ordered the 550 mAh batteries through Ebay.

part for your camera

its a battery compartment for C813 which is compatible for your C913 Camera

Yes, but you would most likely (don't quote me) have to send it back to the manufacture to get it fixed. That means $$$, is there a way for you to tape it on? You really only need the metal piece/plate touching the batteries.

Procedure:

Remove battery cover located under the hood on the passenger side in the back. Simply pry the plastic catch in the front, open it like a lid and jiggle it loose and set it aside.
Use the small flat screwdriver to pop up the center peg in the five peripheral fasteners holding down the plastic compartment cover that you just removed the battery cover from. Each of these has a small black plastic circular flat topped center peg inside a larger plastic circular disk which has 4 slots under which you can slide the screwdriver to pop up the center peg. When the peg pops up simply slide the screwdriver under the larger disk to remove the assembly and loosen that site of fixation. When all five fasteners are out you can remove the entire compartment cover.
The battery terminals are removed with the 10mm wrench
The black box in front of the battery can be lifted out of the way by pressing on the plastic catch in the front of the box to loosen it from the metal flange that it is attached to.
The metal battery holder is removed with the 10 mm wrench. The nut is removed and the long bolt is slid out of the holder and then unhooked from it's bottom anchor. Jiggle the metal bar over the top of the battery to unhook the back hook from its bottom anchor. It may be necessary to lift the plastic over the back of the battery gently and lift out the soft clear plastic washer fluid tube from its guides to get at the back hook.
Gently lift the battery out while holding the cables out of the way.

I have the same problem on my Canon 10x42 IS WP binoculars. The Duracell copper top batteries leaked and corroded the inside of the battery holder. I will never trust those Duracell batteries again. They have ruined more than one expensive piece of mine. Just go to work and remove a few tiny screws to remove the rectangular cover screws to get at the battery holder screws and then lift the battery holder right out from inside the binoculars. You have to get inside the compartment to unplug the leads for your bad battery holder and then replace it with the new replacement battery holder which you can get from Canon for like $70. Go to the Canon website and call their toll free number and ask for binocular tech support and they will take your order for the replacement battery holder.

Hi there,
There is a way to fix it, but it involves soldering. You can solder that piece back into place. It should only take you about a minute to do the job.
Your going to need a slim soldering iron (in order to reach down in the battery compartment), a piece of solder, and maybe a third hand to hold the connector in place. It should only take a drop or two of solder to do the trick.
If your not comfortable with that, then you need to take it to a shop. Hope this helps you.

Look on Ebay. Battery doors for most cameras sell for from $10.00 to less than $20.00 with shipping.
It sounds like the metal is oversprung as you mentioned. The way to fix that would be to remove the door by carefully using a small screwdriver (either phillips or flat, depending on the model) ... some cameras have screws which hold the door together with some small parts including springs, others can be removed by carefully prying the metal holders away to allow the door cover to slide off. When that is done, then you should be able to see the problem with the bent metal, if that is what it is, and proceed to level out the bent areas by bending to the way which is necessary.
