Tried both already, and even went and tried to plug it into a 3rd computer. Very odd but I still am leaning towards a power problem.

Any guides on how to open this sucker up? I have found ones for the previous version with green button, but i have the Essential with no power switch and the blue light in front. I have to imagine there are some push pins holding it together, but nothing easily visible. I'd like to open it up and try to fix it without destroying it so I can still RMA it possibly.

Any guides on that end?
