Thank you so much for the video. You are genius. I was debating if I should be slicing this thing open with a machete or if there was a simple way to take it apart.

really terrible video ... get the camera out of your hand and back a little bit.

Did you ever find a solution? Cause I need one!

Sweet. I have this same drive. It quit working, as in it doesn't fire up. I have a hunch that it's a faulty USB connection on the internal drives behalf. It powers up, but there is no connection to the computer. Forgive my lack of knowledge, but I should be able to open this up, go to fry's, buy a new enclosure and put the HD in there and be back in business, correct?

Thanks a lot man, was wondering about this. It fell from my desk and just makes weird noises now T_T

Hey, thanks for the video! Any idea where a person can purchase the little chip board inside that the power supply, USB, and power light attach to? I tripped over the USB cable one day and ripped the guts out of the USB plug. Any help would be great!

@BurntAgainstTheStars I would look on eBay, You're probably going to have to buy the cable and the drive, but atleast you'll be able to get your info off the drive...
