Help with battery door

[captaincustard]

Hi all, the battery door on my eleaf istick tc 200w is not closing properly and therefore won't work. When you close the door it doesn't sit flush and sits up about 2mm. If you squeeze the door it works fine but as soon as you let go it won't work.

Anybody got any ideas for a fix/bodge job, it doesn't have to look pretty I just want to get it working?

TIA

This may help fix the problem

Thanks bud but it's not that. The problem I think is with the locking tab.

If the tab has broken Im not sure how I would go about fixing it other than using duct tape or something similar which probably isn't practical!

The tab is in place but seems bent so will try a bit of blue tac as a last chance saloon

Is it a plastic tab?

It may be possible to bend it back to shape. but will just as likely snap off.

Better to do it under controlled circumstances than have it happen while down the shops and lose the vital bit and try epoxying the tab carefully back into place.

That might do the trick (for a while).

Might try gently heating the tab and see how it goes. Will let you know

Fixed the dam thing. Put a little blue tack in the hole for the tab then placed some duck tape over it and it shuy and is working fine. Happy days. Will add a pic later.

Still getting a new mod tho
