How to save file from a dead laptop
How to save your file from your dead laptop.
First remove the hard drive by opening the hard drive compartment inside your laptop.
Once your hard drive is removed.
Purchase what we call a enclosure box. The enclosure box will convert the hard drive the was removed from the dead computer and turn it into an external USB hard drive.
the enclosure box should be 2.5" (PATA - if its a very old model) or (SATA - for many newer models).
Difference of PATA and SATA
Here is an example of how a hard drive enclosure box looks like.
After you build your external hard drive , connect it to your new computer and search for your files. They should be there unless your hard drive died too. Good luck!
Cost of a broken laptop screen
Have a broken screen and just don't know how much it cost?
Laptop Screens can be a very expensive fix specially if you go straight with the manufacturer. Most companies charge over $250 dollars to get your laptop screen repaired. There is a way you can get the screen and do it your self for much cheaper price. Many of the laptop screen ca be find in eBay starting from $60 used or maybe from $70 new. So do some research in eBay and make sure you have the right size of the screen. You can also use the model number of your broken screen as a reference and from there search for it on the website and probably the exact same screen will come in the results. Good luck!
