Before you try dismantling the thing, be sure about the cost of the data vs. refund. I'm pretty sure you could return this to Bestbuy given their policies and get your money back. Dismantling would likely invalidate the warranty, so make sure you're ready for that.
Having said that, the only way to become a bit more tech savvy is to try things like this-- you'll be surprised at how easy it is to do this. One more issue to consider is where you're going to put the data in case you're able to recover it-- do make sure you're prepared for that.
