    Why take a chance, though? Hit it with a large hammer, and/or drive the car over it.
    Isn't that dangerous though? I mean, there are lithium ion battery cells in iPads. They tend to catch fire when punctured.

    Doing it outside limits the downside.  

    Personally, I'd open the case, which is quite easy if you are not fussed about doing it neatly, then break the PCB in half. 
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
