I would assume you could just remove it from the laptop and hook it to a desktop, and get the data off of it that way.

If you can't get the laptop to power on, then you can't access the drive while it's still in the laptop.


/e You could also put the laptop HDD into an external HDD enclosure, but that wouldn't be free.

Yeah. But if you have a desktop computer, I would temp install it in there. If you don't have a desktop, then yeah that'll work.

sadly don't, I appreciate the help, thank you Ghot!

Good luck.
