My laptop's motherboard went bad today and I was told by tech support that I should send it back to have the part replaced. I need to get the data off my hard drive before I send the laptop off for repair. I need a recovery solution and I do not mind spending some cash for it. Do you have suggestions?
Data recovery options for a laptop
You could look to remove your hard disk drive from your laptop and then have all your data backed up from there by connecting it with another laptop or computer. You can use a friend's laptop for this or rent the services of someone who is willing to do this for you.
This would be the best solution for you since your motherboard has crashed.
