    remove the hard drive and use one of those

    converts it into an external hard drive

    or just hook it up to an external display via vga if you have it?
    Back by no demand whatsoever.

    hi there

    u have a few options here

    can u connect / output the laptop to another monitor? then u can see your photos etc and dump them onto a usb flash drive

    or remove the laptop hard drive and connect it up to a caddy and retrieve that way

    there is no need to loose your photos

    regards
