I couldn't open mine up.

I got one into a useless state.  I don't know how I did it, but it wasn't 
updating firmware.  Mine recovered after a while, but I don't know how long it 
took.  I tossed it on the junk pile because it was useless.  Eventually, I 
tried again and it worked.

Note that trying too soon probably charges up the super cap and thus restarts 
the clock.
