Help removing Hard drive from seagate externel enclosure

[rokio]

I have a 2tb seagate external hard drive and the usb port has been playing up for while, if fiddle about with the usb cable i can get it to connect but it's getting worse so i want to move the drive to a new enclosure.

I watched a tutorial to open the enclosure but the ones i watched the drive sat in a metal caddy which was easy to slide out but wine looked different.

I took some pictures so hopefully they will show up.

Any instructions would be appreciated

Hello rokio, that piece of tape there can be removed. There should be some sort of latch mechanism below the drive. It should come out if you pull in towards you. Needless to say if the drive was in warranty, this affected it.

Thanks i will give it a try.

The drive was already out of warranty so no harm done in that regard.

So my new enclosure arrived today so i had another go at removing the Drive and i cannot get it out.

It seems that the case was designed to lift out the drive as i can lift out 3/4's of the hard drive out of the case but from what i can tell the board that is connected to the hard drive is glued to the case. I don't see any latch or mechanism.
