I'd like to know if anybody tried dismantling their SGH-i300?

My i300's 3gb microdrive conked out lately, and I think it's still
draining precious battery life even when not in use...

It might be possible (might be) if we could open up the unit
and try removing the HDD, and just use the expansion slot for
storage... as it will (I pressume) lengthen the battery life...

Any input will be highly appreciated... thanks!

Well no way to find out until you try right? If you have the resources, try putting in a bigger hdd, that would be phat.

Try this change in regestry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\StorageManager\Profiles\ TFLASH]
Folder ="HDD"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\StorageManager\Profiles\ TFLASH]
Name ="HDD"

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\CorniceHDD
Folder = "HDD1"

Reboot and you got your SD-Card as HDD and HDD goes to HDD1
You can try to remove phisicaly the HDD, but draining of battery will be the same or a little smaler - it is tested!
