Missing Battery Panel
« on: July 08, 2009, 12:38:46 AM »
I was just wondering if anyone has a crafty way of dealing with this unfortunate situation?

I normally just use tape but I'm sick of putting new tape on every time I change the batteries. Also it starts to really build up a lot of guck which is no good.

Thanks benders.

What is the panel for? If it's for a keyboard or something you can most likely just find a replacement for it online. If it's for a toy though, I don't really know what to tell you. Maybe you could make something, but it'd be kind of tricky.

a lot of cheap casios and yamahas use battery door covers that are interchangable. You can probably find something from a cheaper or junked machine that would fit.

I made a couple of speak&spell battery doors by cutting a DVD case to size and then fashioning a bending clip out of the case edge. After a lot of swearing they look and work fine.

I make them myself aswell. Some small pieces, a big one and some super glue. Works well. I could make a "tutorial" thread if people would be interested...

How about just using a rectangular bit of plastic and two screws?
