Yes if you only need files like pictures, movies, music and not the actual working computer with its operating system and apps just remove the hard drive from the broken laptop and connect it to a usb to SATA adapter like this:
Then just plug it into a computer with a usb port (just about any) and you can harvest the files you need off the old drive or just keep it as an external drive and access files right from it.
If we knew the model of your broken computer we could link to manuals or video for removing the hard drive.
Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.
