I'll look forward to reading how to open the DR without damaging it.
Broken usb is not something they fix under warranty and in fact it when I opened a call for my broken USB port they said the repair would cost 300Euro!
I think the reason for this is simple : they DON'T repair anything, they send a 'new' one. Opening the DR1000S without damaging it MAY be possible but since at least some force will be necessary there are no guarantees.
The way to start is by turning the device upside down, removing the knob in the middle as there you'll find the one screw that you need to screw loose. Everything else is held by plastic knobs that aren't ment to be unlocked and the plastic just is not that high-quality to prevent it from break-off so no guarantees at all.
