Introduction

If the button on the lid seems to be stuck, then disassembling the lid will restore the lid to its original functionality. Be cautious that inside the lid, there is a spring that might release unexpectedly during the fix. Keep a distance to prevent any injuries. The reassembly process begins in step 4.

Excellent guide, a set I got came with the metal pins of the prongs unseated from their holes, causing the lid to operate incorrectly. I was able to re-seat them and get the lid working with the help of this.
