Using a large needle, or a small paper clip. Put a tiny 'hook' on the end of the needle/clip. With the camera laying on its back pull the tab up just a little(towards the front of the camera) and then towards the bottom of the camera. Very little force or movement is required. Once you get it down and look at it it'll all make sense. If you still have trouble let me know and I'll take some pics of one for you.
