<font face="Comic Sans MS">Just be careful. I know a woman who got
a 3rd degree burn on her arm because a blob of molten plastic
escaped from a faulty machine at work. Also the heat required to
get the plastic off would destroy the electronics inside. This
isn't so much of a problem in this case. As John Cleese might say
- It has ceased to be. It has gone to meet it's maker. This is
an ex drive.<br>

is copper, the melting point is just over 1900F. Plastics tend
to five off harmful fumes, and it would be difficult to cleanly
remove it from the metal leads, too. Do you just want to see how
the internals of the flash drive are wired?<br>

<div dir="ltr">coooool. you know I was crying about my USB drive
this weekend? Well, I thought to myself that today would be a
good day to throw it away. Well thank goodness curiosity got my
attention; I grabbed a pair of pliers and broke the plastic
housing. That left me with the metal housing. I was looking at
it wondering if I could take it apart further when I stood it up
and the plastic inside just slid out. I look at it (I have
magnifyin vision)and it looks as if what they do is mold plastic
around the circuitry because all the plastic is, is a slab wich
is 1/16" thick by 1" long with no metal showing except 4
contacts one one end and 2 tiny contacts on the other end (same
side). Anyone know how I can take it apart further. I'm thinking
I coucd melt the plastic but am unsure. How hot should I turn
the oven up too?<br clear="all">
