p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Help! Battery Stuck: D40X


I did a search, but didn't find the answer.

I have a D40X from a friend. I am trying to get the main battery out so that I can get it charged. She seems to have misplaced the charger, but that is a different story. I opened the battery door and tried pressing on the battery, but it didn't pop up. I am missing something simple.It is in the right way, and I was able to take one shot before the battery died, so I know it was working.

Any ideas on how to remove the battery?

Many thanks from a Canon guy.

I figured it out. There is a little slot where you can stick an object in there to pry it out. After noticing that the battery had scratch marks in it, I got a flat head screwdriver and levered it out.

Thanks anyway all.

Just out of curiosity, is the battery case swelling because the battery is going bad? Or was there something in there keeping it from sliding out?

If it is the battery, maybe you need to buy a replacement.

The case is probably swelling. I am going to replace the battery. Thanks for the tip.
