Olympus Camera Battery is Stuck -- how do I get it out?


I have had my Olympus C765 camera for years, and today I think I might have inserted the lithium-ion battery in the opposite orientation. I did not notice much resistance when inserting it, so I thought it was fine, but the camera does not turn on. I assume I have inserted the battery in the wrong direction.

The spring latch moves, but the battery does not pop up as usual, and the battery is almost flush with the battery slot opening.

Other than taking it to a repair shop (I need the camera now), what can I do to get the battery out? If this has happened to you, let me know if you have any do-it-yourself tricks to unstick this battery!

Turn the camera upside down and slap the battery chamber against the palm of your hand to see if the battery will dislodge. Don't use any tools! If worse comes to worse, take it in to be serviced.
