      Yes the circuit board covers are glued down on the compacts. I *think* there is some regulation in Australia that anything (toy) sold with a NiCd cell must have it securely fixed it place, ie not replaceable. Somebody (Panda?) may be able to elaborate on this further, but I think this the reason they are stuck down.
      Any way, a hobby knife, and a tiny screwdriver, and lots of GENTLE patience, will get the thing off undamaged.

      mine actually came off really easily on my compact. But was definitely a little harder than removing a bit’s cover.

      Its no trouble, just a few minutes an a hobby knife gets it off, but the buggers make a mess with the glue.
