How do I replace the batteries?

I'm having a problem with my Powershot A590. The camera appears locked with the lens extended. Now I can't open the battery compartment to replace the batteries. Normally, to open the compartment you slide the battery compartment lever on the cap forward and then slightly to the left as the arrow indicates but the battery container will not move left. I'm stuck with a camera with the lens fully extended but no lights or indication of power at all. No images can be seen on the view finder, no illumination at all. How can I get the battery container open to replace the batteries without breaking the camera?

It seems this has been covered in a previous thread...

Here

Your batteries may have become corroded. You can put pressure on the battery cover door with one hand and with the other hand use a screwdriver or plastic pry tool to slide the opening lever

When (or if) you get this cleaned up, quit using alkaline batteries. They always do this. Get yourself a smart charger for NiMH cells (or a combo charger that does lithium as well, if you want to use premium flashlights) and some AA and maybe AAA NiMH cells. You'll certainly want low self-discharge ones, of which the Panasonics are the best.

This will save you money and aggravation, and you won't destroy any more equipment. BTW, in any relatively high-current application, NiMH will outlast the alkaline by a lot, so there's some additional convenience there. In the old HP cameras, you get about 5x the number of frames when you use NiMH.
