Dismantle the case and take the hard drive out. Then connect it to a computer. All your files will be available.

Open it up and resolder it. The other option is to remove the drive and get another external enclosure for it.

Then it's with clips, look for a crack and insert a sharp flat tool in in, carefully pry around, you may need to push in the clips to unlock them without breaking.
