That depends on the thing, and whether re-assembly is to be considered.
Unlike ARD, some of us sometimes feel that the greatest value that some
things have may be as a recipient of mindless brutal violence. (even
though neither SC817 bears any resemblance to a college administrator)
the reason for opening some is at least to investigate
the internals, if
not repair them, so the less damage done the batter. Hitting it with a
mallet/hammer could break an intenral PCB (if there is one) making
tracing tracks a lot harder...
Well, the largest mallet that I have handy is only 4 pounds, so I'm going
to mail it to Poughkeepsie, instead. THAT might subject it to enough
impact(s) to open it. If not, then somebody else can maturely and
carefully unseal it.
