Remote controls can be tricky to open. If you are lucky the case is held together by screws hiding under batteries, labels, or rubber feet. Usually, though, they are held together by plastic latches. The challenge is to pop the latches without marring the plastic case of the remote control.

My LG remote indeed snaps together with plastic latches. Starting at a rear corner, use fingernails to pry apart the crack that runs all the way around the case of the remote. If you can open the crack wide enough, insert a credit card or other plastic to hold the crack open while you work to expand the crack.

If you can't do this, use a broad flat bladed screwdriver blade to gently pry the corner apart. Push a credit card or screwdriver blade along the crack to wedge it further open. At some point you should hear a pop as each plastic latch releases. Work your way all the way around. When the last latch pops, the case top and bottom will separate.

You should have the case top, the keyboard membrane, the remote's circuit board, and the case bottom.
