Will I destroy my Maxtor One Touch III case if I manage to open it up?

[deckeda]

Guess I'll wait until it truly dies before performing surgery then, thanks.

Found this guide: http://www.erowid.org/devel/misc/archives/000083.shtml and a YouTube video too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLJoYb9-6R0

Both pertain to the dual-enclosure version of the III case but I'll archive them for later.
