Transferring files laptop to laptop

[boywiththeblues]

I have a broken laptop that will cost me a fair bit to fix. I now have a new laptop and was wanting some files from my broken one.

so i was wondering if there is anyway of me getting into the hard drive from my working laptop? Is there cable/leads that would make this possible?

Depends what is broke on the old one, if it is said hdd then this may be a small stumbling block.

The only thing is i cant get it on, the socket that the power cable goes into is busted. I cant find anyone with the same type battery to power it on till i get the files i need.

Is it even possible to do it when the laptop is dead?

Oh thats easy bud, you should be able to open an access point at the bottom and simply remove the hdd.
Then simply replace it with the hdd in your new one.
