I can find no information on dis-assembly of this unit. Looking at the photo of the unit it appears there is a seam going around it. You might try using a Spudger to go around that seam to see if that gives you access to the drive for replacement. Good luck.

Thanks for your answer,

I think so, but actually I'm afraid my outside box will be damaged.

Should I take some photos close up to all of my device's sides and show to you to get an advice?

Have a nice day! ^^

You could call the maker and ask for service. Ask them how to open the device. As I said I could find no information on procedures for replacing the drive--I think they may want you to pay them to do it. There is always risk in trying a procedure like opening a case--you have to decide if its worth the risk to you.

Thanks guys, Actually, I bought this device in Korea and there is no official reseller or global warranty in Vietnam for it! +_+ So, I will leave this topic open and welcome all the ideas coming before I break it up! ^^

just put an ATM card inside the edge, then lift it up slowly, starting from the long edge!
