LUG:

The problem with my Seagate external hard drive is definitely the USB 
connection.  The connection has come loose and fallen back into the 
case.  The data should be fine, I just can't get to it.  Do I dare 
try to open the case and take out the drive?  I know if I send it in 
for data retrieval the estimate will be about $1900.  The 1T drives 
are selling for $89 now and I've just ordered 4 to put in a Drobo so 
I won't miss this one if it doesn't work.  It is still under warranty 
and I'm sure I void the warranty by opening the case, but I'd rather 
have the data if it's possible to take out the drive and hook it up 
some other way.

This drive is full of nothing but Leica photos ;-) so it's on 
topic.  Has anybody ever opened a drive like this successfully?  I 
found a U-Tube video showing how to do it.
