Hey everyone My roommate's laptop broke. Since the guarantee has expired if I open it and we urgently need the data on the hard drive, I wanted to ask how I can access this hard drive or whether this is even possible.
My roommate's laptop broke.
Is a broad term.
Sure there are ways to save the data under certain circumstances, but without knowing what is defective in the laptop, it will be difficult.
I do not know exactly. He gives a sign of life. We have connected a second screen that only shows a black screen and the laptop's own screen does not show anything either. I tried to get into the BIOS on the 2nd screen because I had the assumption that the login screen is "displayed" on the first monitor and therefore the 2nd screen shows black. The laptop behaved more quietly as soon as I pressed the F key, but there was still no picture.
Ok, since it no longer shows a picture at all and you don't even get into the BIOS, I suspect the power supply / battery is defective.
Since there's still a guarantee there, take it to the dealer and they should take care of the matter.
Without a picture you won't come to the FP
OK thanks. Unfortunately I already suspected that
The record will have to go. There will be no way around it… If you are lucky, you will have an extra flap for the HDD then you can remove it without losing the guarantee, otherwise it will unfortunately be gone. Or you take the guarantee and the data is gone.
