Seems my unit needs to be exchanged, how do I retrieve my data from the HDD. The unit does not power up at all, power brick orange light and dies as soon as I plug it into the unit.
I would recommend NOT taking your xbox apart. Your data should be in the Microsoft User Cloud, so when you put your new drive in/exchange your xbox, you should get all your stuff back once you sign in, and download everything from the cloud. [For me, it worked with saved games, but I do not know if this applies to everyone]
