Remove the lower case in your Apple TV 1st Generation.

Aletler

Flip the Apple TV over so that the bottom of the unit is facing up.
You need to remove the rubber base to get access to the screws.
Starting at one side of the device, use a hairdryer or a heat gun to soften the adhesive holding the rubber base in place.
The rubber base will be hot after heating, take extreme caution while proceeding to avoid personal injury.
While the adhesive is still warm, peel the bottom of the rubber base upwards to detach it from the metal plate.
The rubber base can tear if the adhesive hasn't been softened enough.
Repeat the procedure described above until the rubber base has been completely removed.

Carefully lift the lower case from the upper case enough to allow access to the internals of the Apple TV.
Be aware that the hard drive is physically attached to the lower case and that a ribbon cable runs from the drive to the logic board in the upper case.

Carefully pull the hard drive data cable straight up from its socket on the logic board.
During reassembly, make sure the hard drive data cable is firmly seated in its socket on the logic board; otherwise, during boot-up you will see a flashing question mark "?".
