Title: Open the WSXL mini chassis
Post by: bill123 on January 21, 2020, 09:12:07 AM
Hi all

I have a LS-WSXL mini and a hard drive appears to be failed.
I would like to check or replace it but I am unable to open the plastic case.
Any hint? I don't want to damage the case
Nas is out of warranty.

Thanks in advance!

I've never had my hands on that model.

Many of the one drive devices come apart easily with 1-2 screws, sometimes hidden under stickers or rubber feet. Others have plastic tabs that click together which are a pain to get apart.
