AirTag battery change
One of my AirTags is jammed close. I can't release it by pressing down (the others all work ok)
Any ideas?

Hello RichardB Charles,
Let's start by completing the steps below that are also listed here: How to replace the battery in your AirTag - Apple Support to see if you can get it open.
Replace your AirTag battery
1. Press down on the polished stainless steel battery cover of your AirTag and rotate counterclockwise until the cover stops rotating.
2. Remove the cover and battery.
3. Insert a new CR2032 lithium 3V coin battery (available at most electronic and drug stores) with the positive side facing up. You'll hear a sound indicating that the battery is connected.
CR2032 batteries with bitterant coatings might not work with AirTag or other battery-powered products, depending on the alignment of the coating in relation to the battery contacts.
4. Replace the cover, making sure that the three tabs on the cover align with the three slots on the AirTag.
5. Rotate the cover clockwise until it stops.
If those steps do not resolve the issue, then please reach out to support for further assistance here: Apple Support
