Power button is not respondingTried multiple outlets.Machine has rivets.How doI opento retrieve info

[R_T_]

I have a long-loved Compaq Presario 5000 series.  I believe the OS is Windows ME.  The computer was purchased in January of 2000.   The power button suddenly stopped responding.  I am aware of tests to bypass the button, but the machine has rivets, so I can not get inside, as I would like to do.  

I would like to retrieve the hard drive information and I would like to put some baby pictures from 3.5 disks onto a thumb drive.  I also enjoyed several games that do not play on my newer computers.

I appreciate any guidance on this issue.  Gratefully, RT
