Bjr. Plus d’un an après l’achat de l’AirTag, impossible de l’ouvrir. Quand je presse avec 2 doigts, il ne se passe rien (le couvercle ne s’enfonce pas). Et le couvercle a l’air bloqué (grippé). J’hésite à utiliser une pince pour le tourner. Mon AirTag est resté depuis son achat dans une poche étanche de mon sac à dos. Il ne sonne plus quand je déplace ce dernier mais sonne si je le localise. Cdlt.

Eugénie, excusez mon français. Essayez de saisir l'AirTag des deux côtés avec quelque chose qui a de l'adhérence, comme du silicone. Appuyez ensuite vers le bas et tournez. Assurez-vous de tourner dans le bon sens. Bonne chance!

Well done! One thing to add is that the replacement battery must not have a bitterant coating as they are problematic with the AirTags.

after the change of battery does the AirTag work as before automatically or does it need to be re-associated with the iPhone?

It should work automatically.
