While you have the laminater out do you have pack of playing cards? They may be a little stronger than paper but are also thin. Cut to size after laminating

Thank you ChrisA!

I hadn't thought of that!

Would a sledgehammer work?

It did occur to me to borrow my mate's oxy-acetylene torch if all else failed!

I always try to be helpful

As the saying goes, 'Don't force it, get a hammer'.

That is why engineers can charge so much. It's not jut hitting the thing with a hammer, it's knowing where to hit.

Okay, Barrie.

I have tried a couple of things but nothing so far has worked.

However, I am confident that your solution is a goer -- absolutely brilliant.

What I have tried this far has not been able to trip the tags.

Thus far.

I simply need something a little tougher.

I will post any developments as they come to light.

Thank you!

Have you got something like a credit card that would fit down the side? Even if you have to cut one to size a replacement card would be cheaper than a replacement camera

Yes. I am not that silly.

The battery is stuck -- wobbles a bit but won't budge -- grey latch disengaged.

Sounds like the cheapest option in the long run will be the repair shop. At least you have answered the question "What happens if I insert the battery upside down"

I like them all but the last with the "Fingers of God" shining through the clouds is my favorite

The Vinny Jones/Paul Gascoigne photo was one of the funniest sports shots I've ever seen. One of those "I would love to capture something like that" shot.

When what is really needed is strong drink and nibbles

I have 3 official Pentax batteries and as I only use one camera at a time that should be sufficient although I will get another in case I decide to use the grip. When I had the *ist DL2 I used a mains adapter when using the camera and light tent.
