I replaced my 9V battery on my Balladeer preamp/tuner and it didn't seat right and now is jammed. I can't seem to pry it lose. Any suggestions? I appreciate it....Merry Christmas

Which PA is it?

Is this the same Balladeer you had issues with before?

Try gently pressing down on it at both ends and wiggling it to see if it will set properly. If not, try inserting a thin blade between the end with the release button and the can, and gently pry up on it.
Gently.

If you manage to get it out try loosining the screws that hold the can (pick up holder) in a little bit, I had one that was troublesome getting out and a little counterclockwise twist of the can mounting screws did the trick. Good luck!
