> Suggestions on where and which spudger to get for opening remote controls=
?

fingernails / thumbnails

knife blades (X-Acto, folding pocket, butter, utility)

thin putty knives

wood chisels

fine tip slot screwdrivers

macsales.com (Other World Computing) blue-green nylon units

macsales.com (Other World Computing) thin stanless steel units

anything thin & strong that you find handy when doing the task


Use singularly or in combination to pry open a spot, then hold
that spot open while you work on the next latch -- repeat until
unit is open.  Or until you slip & hurt yourself in which case
you apply bandaid before starting over. :-)

Hardest part can be knowing if the edge of top piece overlaps
the bottom or the edge of bottom piece overlaps the top.  You
sometimes can't tell for sure until after it starts opening.

I have encountered plastic cases where seams were cemented shut,
so you had to cut to open then reglue or tape shut when done.
