With a screwdriver and possibly a knife?

just did this the other day. you need a knife or very small flathead. there are tabs holding the bottom to the surrounding casing on the front and back, just slip something in each end and pop the bottom out. The drive is head in place with rubber shock absorbing looking things.

thanks.

found the method at youtube anyway. super easy to open.

throw it on the ground (preferably concrete) until the case breaks. once that happens it should be easy to remove the drive.
