I tried the friction ball till my fingers went numb, but the fu#%er didn't budge.
I searched the web but I keep getting a tun of friction ball movies.
Other then rubbing my balls on it .. is there something else I can do to get it to open?

Super glue your dick to it then pull. Seriously I've read where some guys super glue a bolt to the case back to get it off.

what i mostly do is tape my two fingers (sticky outside ofcourse), then press my two fingers firmly flat onto the caseback and turn it. Has always worked for me.

Invest in a caseback opener or a sticky ball from evil bay!

Use a hot glue gun.
Put a blob of fresh hot glue onto the caseback.
Push a piece of flat steel bar (piece of bracket, hinge, tool etc) firmly onto the blob of glue.
Wait until cool and use the steel bar to open the caseback.
After opening and closing, the bar can be pried from the glue and the blob of glue will peel off leaving the caseback clean.
I find that if the glue is at it's hottest, this method works EVERY time.

No luck required. .

You can't leave it there. The forum requires your feedback. Please let us all know how you get on. Cheers. Steve

Sure thing Steve, I will follow with an "under the hood" pic as soon as I get it open .. and will most likely have more question at that point..

Still don't know why you don't just use a sticky ball - $1 from eBay.
