Actually, I've tried disassembling the Magotan remote key several times because it often malfunctions due to a dead battery. The back of the key usually hides small screws or clips. First, carefully inspect it with a magnifying glass. Once you locate the screw holes, gently unscrew them with a small Phillips screwdriver (T5 or T6 size). If there are no screws, carefully insert a plastic pry tool along the seam to lift the casing, but avoid using excessive force to prevent damaging the plastic. Inside, you'll find a small circuit board, and the battery is typically a CR2032 coin-type. When removing it, avoid touching the electronic components to prevent static damage. After installing the new battery, reassemble the casing along the original path, ensuring the seams align before tightening the screws. The process is simple but requires patience—don’t rush to avoid loosening parts. By the way, the key battery usually needs replacement every two years, saving you the hassle and cost of visiting a 4S shop. Doing it yourself saves money and teaches you a handy skill—totally worth it.
