Hello guys

 

I have an old laptop which i stored data in as photos, homework documents and more. And I would like to know if it is possible to recover the data? 

 

The ´screen is completly black at startup. But the pc starts up finally it seems. I attached a charger and I can hear the sound of a computer running. Any advice what to do? Can the laptop even be fixed or do I have to open the laptop and extract the hardware from the pc?

 

I have had the laptop for almost like 3 years with on-off problems until its last day which showed me blue screen of death and after every startup it only shows me a black screen.,

Welcome to the HP Support Community @Hyuna

 

Remove the HDD and attach it to a USB to SATA adapter:

Then you can connect it to any Laptop/Desktop and try to copy and past any DATA you can.
