The back cover does not move at all.  I even tried to insert the tip of a steak knife on the top, but nothing.  It will not budge.  I have an LG 440G Tracfone.  Since I was not able to check the battery due to not getting the back off, I bought another one.  I just decided to retry but nothing.

Cannot open back of Tracfone 440G to check battery….it does not budge.

Unfortunately, LG does not appear to sell batteries anymore, so if your phone needs a new one you’re screwed.
