Since I can't get it to boot and I would prefer not to send in a device that still has personal information contained in it, I am quite determined to salvage my data by taking the internal memory out while still getting my claim paid out. Has anyone figured out how to open a PE 'properly'?
Are you sure SquareTrade actually wants you to physically remove the internal memory? Sounds kind of strange. The PE is quite easy to open with only four screw securing each side under the rubber bumpers. Here is a link that may be helpful:
