You try pulling the pin down a bit? I use an old hairpin, i often have to pull the pins on my DCC's

I wouldn't suggest taking it apart.
A) not worth the time or the effort
B) unless you got tiny hands and small enough tools good f'ing luck.

Cartos are meant to be disposable for a reason.

But in all honesty if the vendor is willing to replace it and not wanting the DOA carto back, have at it. What's the worst that could happen? You fix it?

Just be careful not to short it and potentially kill your batter that your going to try it on.

EDIT: how do you know it's DOA? Not firing or when you measured it on a multimeter it shows as an open circuit?
