Hi Meeko

I had one of those with my old celestron
Are you sure it can not slide out? Mine used to slide on and off, after so many slides it did get a little loose. Also on the finder itself there should be a knob with a white dot on it, by turning this you can dim it, I think these take watch batteries, you can remove this

Hope this helps
