quick video showing how to open the case of a Seagate Freeagent USB external hard drive. I have been having problems with this drive and the internet reports say that disabling the light helps tremendously with getting rid of the delays after the drive comes out of its sleep mode. of course, ymmv. good luck!

Thanks Kris. This had been baffling me. But thanks to this vid rescued the internal drive from a duff control interface and plugged the bare disk directly into my server. Data rescued. Brilliant. Thanks. (Mine was a 750GB but exactly the same process.

@flame0731 i just opened my seagate 250gb, instead of taking the full case off, at the bottom of the base take off that case, you will see a silver housing, unscrew that and unscrew the screws connected to the board, there you will see the cable he took off on the right side. my hard drive light doesn't come on anymore, going to see if it works better

Wow, that worked. Thanks a mil. And if someone comes across a company that doesn't invalidate the hard drive's warranty just because the casing has been removed, please let me know.

Okay I have seagate 250GB hard drive. Is there a video on how to open it? Or repair it? Or extract the information. Something.

@ulujm Once you have the drive fully removed, it's a standard SATA hard drive.

@RoyaleCafe Well, I got a little veg knife, stainless steel, "Sharpest Knife in the World" it says on the blade. I tried to pry out the plastic around them. And I snapped the top of it off.... so don't try that.
I'd say your casing is fucked, or the insides are useless... flip a coin.. shit. Good luck. I myself will be taking a saw to the bottom of it as I no longer care about this shitty casing. :D
Good luck!!
