sand in battery lid

hi,



I had my GoPro 7 black with me on the sand beach and a few grains of sand got into the battery lid, below the rubber band. I removed everything and there is no visual signs of sand anymore. However I feel like there is a tiny bit of grinding noise when I open the lid. Unfortunately, the lid can't be removed as easily as on older models.



Is it possible to detach the lid and clean the surface below the rubber band?


thank you

alright I disassembled the lid, rinsed the parts with water and reassembled it. Before that (before I started the thread) I did try to carefully clean the lid by rinsing the sealed camera and removing the sand grains with a soft tissue. There where only 3 or 4 grains and I was able to remove all of them.



The disassemble was necessary because of the grinding noise and dust below the rubber seal after the cleaning. I don't recommend the disassemble. There was no more sand in the camera but there was sand dust. I'll share a picture here later.


thank you for the help ;-)
