Did you drop it, or did this happen spontaneously? A small proportion of Karmas suffered from steadily-swelling batteries, and although this usually squishes the hard disk before it pops the case open, it depends exactly where on the battery the swelling occurs.

It has never been dropped, proven by the fact that the rotator wheel is still intact, and as everybody knows, any dropped Karma always lands on that wheel!

The case does not feel like there is anything pushing it open. It pushes completely shut with no notable resistance. It just won't stay pushed shut.

I hope that word of potentially explosive batteries doesn't get out, otherwise people won't be able to take them on airplanes. Uhhhh... check your records, did anybody named Osama buy one of these things?
