I just replaced Samson’s sensor – and put the old transmitter on instead of the new one. Is there any way to remove the G6 transmitter without pulling off the sensor? has anyone figured out a hack?

Dexcom _might_ replace it for you, if you tell them what happened.
You can try and give them a call first, and if they say they will replace it, you can yank it and toss it and you are not out anything.
If they won’t replace it, you can start working the hacks.

it’s not so much the burned sensor i care about-- its the extra changeout. I was really hoping to avoid that today as it’s Samson’s birthday.

I think you can break the back carefully and remove and replace.
Happy Birthday!
