Introduction

Note: The K750 Solar requires a rechargeable ML2032 coin cell battery as a replacement. Although it’s the same size and shape as the more common CR2032, CR2032s are not rechargeable. You can also use a LIR2032 rechargeable battery as well.

What you need

Step 1

              Turn off the keyboard
  • Before you begin, flip the keyboard’s power switch into the OFF position.

Thank you. Worked perfectly. Gained trust in this site. Lost respect for Logitech.

There a better way to open it

put the knife or better a screwdriver on the other side (keys upside); worked for me without damage the keyboard :D

Thank You! That did work much better!

Here is an even better method.

You can also totally prevent damage by finding a laminated biz card and cutting it into 2 one inch strips and inserting both of them into the slot on the top side (solar side) of the battery compartment.

Then get your tool ( I like small pointed scissors) and pry it out between the cards.

Very easy!
