Ther are four screws that hold the drive together. The metal case comes apart in two pieces. I would not open a new drive that has not give me any problems. That is one less thing to worry about. You can always do it later if it becomes a problem.

While you may be right...I just opened it. I did it so that I could put in the 4 foam pads on the top of the case so that the laser won't scratch the discs if the machine is ever bumped during game play. I found a tutorial here http://www.llamma.com/xbox360/repair/Re ... -Drive.htm on how to install them, though my BenQ drive case lid does not look anything like the ones in the picture. I'll try putting them in then test to see if it works.
