Hello all, I'm following this thread and really appreciate so the insight. As others have stated, a pet parent here VERY interested in extending the life of my Assisi Loop that just stopped working today (after ~5 min of faster-flashing green light). That said, I'm not handy enough to tackle the soldering involved battery replacement. After reading all posts, I think opting to take the device to a local repair shop is best for me. I'd like to take it in opened, however. Can anyone please lay out the best steps to open the device enough to access the batteries?
For some, that was the hardest step; but replacing (2) CR2032 batteries with feet + unsoldering & resoldering is the definite winner on what goes beyond my capabilities! I just want to know how to open the device - was thinking of using an exacto knife to carefully cut along the black line where the 2 white faces meet. Will that do, or will it still require I mess the plastic wraps on either end of where the loop connects?
My last resort will be to toss my loop (or email the poster in Toronto who offered to buy old ones) and buy new. Which I really want to avoid as it's cost-prohibitive. Thank you!
