Printer Cartridge USB Drive

Step 2 Breaking Into your Devices

Before you do ANYTHING else, take three to four paper towels and just lay them down on top of each other on your workstation if you do not want ink everywhere, even if a cartridge is 'empty' it still has a good amount of ink in it as it turns out. You are going to want to take either your knife or your finger nail and break apart the USB drive. Inside is the part that you are familiar with that goes into your computer and attached to it is a small chip, gently set this aside in a place where it will be safe. Now for the printer cartridge, this one was sealed up a bit better than the USB drive and took much longer to crack open. I ended up scratching mine a little so take your time and go slow if it does not break apart right away. Just take your knife and run it all along the top, I had to use a combination of cutting into it and leverage with my blade to pop it open.
