I couldn't open mine up.
I got one into a useless state. I don't know how I did it, but it wasn't

That worked for mine a while back. I bricked it and my attempts at
resuscitation failed. I put it in my "probably junk" container. Shortly

sprang to life
If you open it up, then simply connect a load resistor, perhaps
in the neighborhood of 100 ohms (but definitely not a direct short!)
across the super cap to drain it faster.

retains its settings, sort of a poor-man's NVRAM. This can take some
weeks."

I was trying to rollback the firmware on the unit because I was experiencing
similar issues to what is described here:
