Kanger Subox Problem: Dropped and busted-twice

[creekside]

Hi, all:

I really liked my Kanger Kbox Mini till I dropped it and the upper metal connection (gold button) inside the battery area receded into the case. The battery was then too loose to make a connection.

So I replaced it and the same thing happened with the replacement.

I can't figure out a way to open the skin and try to push the button back down. Is that possible? Or, is it likely I could buy a very thin spacer?

What do you think?

Thanks!

Problem solved! I found this video:



And when I unscrewed the case and tried to remove it, the button popped out. Then I did the same thing to the original unit. Now I have 2 working Kangertech Kbox Minis.

i believe i have the unofficial guinness book world's record for the number of drops on a kbox mini. for some reason the battery door always flings behind/underneath something that makes it incredibly annoying to retrieve. aside from being chipped to all hell, it has been a tank for me. glad you got it working

Old thread but I had the same thing happen to me today.

Dropped my Subox with Aspire Nautilus tank from my 4x4 and it landed hard on my ashphalt driveway. Battery door flung under my truck and the battery fell out. Slapped it back together and it works perfectly fine. Not a scratch on the finish either.

Luckily it wasn't my Snow Wolf that I dropped.
