Introduction

Use this guide to replace an impaired or degraded plastic housing for your Imation Superdisk USB Drive (Model SD-USB-M2).

The plastic housing functions as a protective barrier for internal components of the Superdisk USB Drive. Damage to the plastic housing may result from age or accidental impact. A damaged housing component may require replacement if you encounter difficulty in connecting the drive to a USB port or discover dislodged internal components.

Step 1

Flip the device over so the bottom is facing up.

Remove the USB converter device by gently pulling it out.
Do not pull the converter device out by the cord.

Step 3

Remove the six silver screws using a small Phillips head screwdriver.

Step 4

Slide the bottom plastic panel of the shell down so it is free of the end cap and the top panel.
Lift panel free of device.

Step 5

Identify the end cap by noting the label "SuperDisk Drive" above where you would insert a floppy disk.
Remove the plastic end cap by sliding it forward, freeing from the rest of the device.
