How to Open the 10th Generation Accord Key?
2 Answers
Prepare a new battery and a Phillips screwdriver. Remove the screw on the Iron General key, then use your hands or a tool to take off the upper cover of the key. You will see a waterproof membrane inside. Continue by removing the chip. Take out the old battery and replace it with the new one. Note that the battery should be placed with the positive side up and the negative side down. Stack the three batteries uniformly in the same direction before placing them into the battery slot. Reinstall the chip in its original position, ensuring it is aligned correctly and securely fitted on all sides. Improper placement may cause button malfunctions or difficulty in reassembly. Snap the outer cover back into place, then reinsert and tighten the original screw (there is only one screw). The battery replacement is now complete.
I just replaced the battery in my 10th-gen Accord key fob the other day. First, pull out the small metal key by pressing the silver button on the side of the fob. Then use your fingernail or a thin plastic tool to pry open the casing along the center seam. Be careful - there are four small clips inside the housing, don't force them or they might break. Once opened, you'll see the green circuit board and the coin battery (remember it's CR2032). When reassembling, align the housing properly and press gently until you hear a click. Handle everything gently as the plastic casing is quite brittle and can crack if forced too hard.
