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.
Turns out He's not the only one who can tell a story about a dead parrot.

Assuming the metal 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?

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?
