ewewww If it is stripped them I would try any screwdriver I could make fit the slots and see if I could turn it to get to place tht isn't stripped. Will a needle nose pliers grip it??? If all fails I would contact the seller, explain and ask for a replacement. My dogs LOVE LOVE that tody, but I have to watch them because they figured out how to get the velcro open to get to the batteries.

Just take the bottom and top half and twist. It can be kind of difficult to open, I still struggle with mine.

It takes a very small special screw driver (Phillips head) to loosen it. If one too large has been used it is easy to do damage to the head of the screw. Patience and the right tool are crucial.

There are 2 screws,only one has to come off. this will be the lower one. i took the wrong one off first. it requires a smaller than common Philips head screw driver,I do a lot of electrical work so I had one,but if you're using the common size,likely it is too large and not grabbing,or you may have stripped the screw head with the screwdriver. Also remember righty tighty,lefty loosey. Or counter clockwise to loosen,clockwise to tighten. Hope this helps,its a great toy.

Take a screwdriver. Go to the refrigerator. Grab some ice. Chop up the ice with the screwdriver. Make slushee. Drink slushee as you are returning this piece of junk for a full refund.

same exact thing happened to me! where the screw mount meets the shaft seperated and when removed you can see where the "glue" had shattered and failed.ive tried to contact them but nothing in return. let me know if you had any better luck.

I wish I could help you..don't recall having that problem! Carefully examine the buttons that you depress to rotate it. But I'm at a loss as to the screw.

Contact the seller. They will probably be able to send the screws. Should have been included In the package

If it is as the one pictured, underneath is a hex head screw. Simply loosen it and pull fixture out from the wall. Hope this is of some help.Paul

Did you try a magnet to retrieve the screw? If you get it back together, checking the tightness of the screw should be routine.

If you haven't stripped them all try threading them completely then removing and putting on table. They aren't drilled well. If it's stripped completely maybe try a larger screw?

I have not sold one of these yet on amazon. I do not know, the only thing i can suggest is to try and remove stripped screws with channel locks or pliers and put new screws in it. Sorry i do not know what else to do.

I'm really not sure I have not replaced mine yet...I now when I was installing it originally i needed to screw something on...try unscrewing?

I got mine off with a flat screwdriver, but use a vise to hold motor or you'll end up stabbing your self. Trust me

Ah... :)You take a screwdriver that fits the screw and unscrew it as you would usually do (anti-clockwise).After a couple of turns it seems like the screw no longer holds the cover (the lid got a bit separated from the body), but it still won't come off, does it? :)Well, at this point you need to insert something thin (your fingernail?) in the crack between the cover and the body and just pull.Try pulling not from the center, but a bit closer to one of the edges - the cover latches to the body near the edges...

I just bought one today at walmart and I stripped it too, and I was using the correct size screwdriver. Now I am not sure how I am going to get the battery compartment off without breaking it. I would never buy this again. I am wondering why they used a screw in the first place.

Now that you mention it, it was in there pretty tight. I did use the correct type of screwdriver to eventually open. Im looking at the screw that was rremoved and its stripped. I guess I will tread lightly next time the screw needs to be undone. This sounds like its a defect overall in the product workmanship. Good luck.

No, You can not. They have their own a special tool for the screws. I tried to take my old one apart and could not.

unusable? Is it stripped out? Or did you lose it? If it's stripped you may be screwed.

LOL, that got me too! Actually it just screws on, but it is reverse screw (counter clockwise). Google the model and see the instructions because it is tricky to get the old one off and the new one on. I tried several times, but finally succeeded. Good luck.
