Message: <blockquote data-quote="therower" data-source="post: 2074477" data-attributes="member: 47983">The Dexcom transmitter isn’t designed to have the batteries changed.Once the transmitter dies it should be replaced with a new one.Now there are people who have gone to quite considerable lengths to fit new batteries in dead transmitter.See YouTube videos.The process is time consuming, needs quality tools and has no guarantee of success.Once the transmitter has been opened up and batteries changed you still have the problem of re sealing the transmitter. The outer casing will be destroyed to a large extent during the battery removal operation. The transmitter will now need to be re sealed ( as yours has been ) Whether you will be able to remove this new seal without causing further damage is something you’ll have to take a chance on.My understanding of the process of tampering with the transmitter  is that , unless you are extremely careful, resourceful and lucky you may find yourself with an unusable   product.</blockquote>
