when you put the battery tray back in, you have to push it kind of hard to get it to go all the way in. I didn’t have a spudger but was able to use an ice pick (gently) and then a small flat screw driver.

What if you don’t have a spider? Is there anything else that you can use to open the battery tray?

You can use something pointy instead of a Spudger. For example: A pair of scissors ✂️. You can open them with the pointy blade. Thanks!
