Hi:

You can remove the hard drive, buy a SATA to USB 3.5" hard drive enclosure.

Plug it into a working PC's USB port and a power source and see if you can read the drive and copy the files you want from it.

Here is the link to the service manual for your PC.   You will find the hard drive removal procedure in this guide...
