I have two stories to tell, but only one of them is true. You must decide which one is true:
Story Number One:
I finally manged to open the Kobo case using a long fingernail to get it pried open, as suggested by one of our members. [Image #1]. After that, a stolen credit card was used for the remainder of the case. I heard an audible pop, but the case was not damaged at all. I later celebrated by going to Best Buy and charging a number of expensive items on the card.
After opening the device, I was at first confused by the innards. [Image #2.] I failed to locate a cable or battery, even though I removed all the tubes in order to get a better view. As can be seen, the inside may account for the unusual shape of the case, which garnered confusion and consternation upon the Kobo HD's initial release. I inadvertently broke one tube, but I was able to insert the base of the tube back into its socket without any further mishap. Thinking perhaps that the battery was hidden inside the circuit board (since this is new innovation in battery technology, I understand), I decided to charge the unit, as suggested by one member here who felt the battery might be depleted. After the fire truck left, the only thing I was able to save was one black sock. [Image #3.]
Story Number 2:
I was able to open it with one bruised fingernail, and then used a credit card to further remove the front bezel. Unfortunately, everything was tight and intact. And the problem still remains.
