Should come out to the daylight without further major hesitations. It can be slightly glued by the metal band from the base mount side, so watch it. If you do it, the hard drive is yours now 🙂 Lift the metal box from any side you can access it. Use other handy tools of your choice and operate there untill you succeed an push out the clip’s tooth.

Use your free hand as an expander on the left side, but be careful as jamming forces at this moment can be serious. Secure the gap on the right side solidly with a wedge and try to insert your fauvorite flatbed screwdriver behind the latch. Work it untli you see the latch from the left side, you will see it earlier from the top side, but you need an entry from the left.
And yes I actually did use the plastic things as wedges you see on photos. Don’t worry but stay focused, use force, but use it wisely.
The cover has inner plastic layer that is „responsible” for latches, it will bend, you will hear it bend, and you will hear it work. Work your way down from the top using plastic shapes as spacers, do it both sides. To succeed this I had to ‚sacriface’ one of my precise screwdrivers that was thin enough to go through ventil holes. It did’n work form me this way.It only worked for me with the right bottom latch when left bottom latch was already released and the hard drive metal bay was removed out of the enclosure. Mine kept on bending all the time and I used couple of them, L and R sides of the casing, no luck. You can try this if you like but the material of the rod has to be something really solid. Some tutorials found on the Web suggest using metal stiff rod being pushed from the base side through ventilation holes in hope of popping the tooth of the latch out of its closing position. It gets more tricky here as you have to work your way from the top to open the gap more and more. Notice: some people tried to pry metal side with logo apart glued to plastic part with clips. They should pop open quite easliy as they are not very heavily embeded into the casing.
Use any PVC spacers available as wedges, plastic sticks, anything you can think of. Try to work there gently until you get a gap and be winning more and more. There are 2 laches at the top of the cover, opposite the base, left and right side you should start with. If you hold your Freeagent like this you are looking at the cover facing upwards that comes off. Why? Because it’s easier to succeed from this direction.įor me left side of the unit is when casing is positioned like below, and little (smaller one) cable-duct-box at the mounting base of the unit is on the left, bigger one on the right. Say… Did I mentioned PATIENCE?įor the starters: main focus goes to the left hand side of the unit. – patience, patience, and a lot of patience. It was possible only when holding on to one rule:

Well I have managed that plus my casing covers had survived without being craked or throwed in anger under nearest train. And the goal of the whole operation is to rescue inner hard drive which is usually in good state. Meaning: broken casing or PTSD of the operator.

There is a couple of tutorials on the Internet about how to do it, but they sometimes seem partial, or finished with failure of a kind.
