How to Take Apart a Hard drive | Destroying a Hard Drive

First, break the seals that will uncover the last few screws. This will void the warranty. But we don't want to just void the warranty, we want to render this thing unuseable before we get one screw undone. Next, you'll want to find a surface that creates static. Like a carpet. You'll want to rub the underside of the hard-drive on your carpet. Or, rub a balloon on your head untill it's nice and statically and touch the underbelly of your hard-drive. These actions wll create and ESD (electro-static discharge) that will destroy your hard-drive. Now that you can't do anything usefull with your hard-drive (or at least what it was intended to be used for) there is no reason not to continue! Warnings: By Doing this will Damage Your Hard Drive.
