Perhaps you can post his information on our thread on G5/G4 batter replacement. Hope you get well soon, and Welcome to FUD! > [@Dexcom G4/G5 transmitter battery replacement](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/dexcom-g4-g5-transmitter-battery-replacement/910): > > When traveling I was forced to check a bag and neglected to take out my Dex (transmitter too). It froze (was over a year old), now the receiver does not pick up the transmitter, and I cannot currently allow myself (financially) to purchase a replacement; so I found a FB group where you can have it ground down and have the battery replaced by someone experienced! I am goi g to attempt it because I want my CGM back! Any experience with manual battery replacement or using such a service appreciated… --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/i-heard-from-a-source-that-there-is-now-a-way-to-hard-reset-g5-transmitters/3979)._
