I think you guys know where I am going with that topic. I have a couple of SNK LS-30's I am trying to refurbish, but I can't get the stupid top cap off. I don't have the special tool and I've tried the paper clip method explained here.

Has anyone discovered an alternate method to getting this damn cap to pop up? :p
 
Are you sure you are actually hitting the tabs?
Using a thick (heavy) paperclip? Gotta be thick enough to push the tabs in once it gets between the tabs and the sidewall.

Could also be gunked up with who knows what and are simply "stuck". Might drizzle some cleaner around the edge and see if it'll seep down in around the cap.
 
It's a piece of cake with the Special Tool. If you were nearby, you could borrow mine...
 
Before pulling the paperclip up you need to make sure the 2 ends that are bent up need to be hugging the inside wall. If they are bent too far out then it wont hot the tabs.

Easy fix, just insert the paperclip then bend the ends until they hit the sides then pull up on the paperclip.
