I think the only way is to just repair the broken power jack port so access the files. Would this work if the power cable jack is broken and you can't power up (unless using a battery)?. So what would be the point in using an enclosure to place the HDD drive into when the files on it cannot be viewed/accessed through another laptop?. Only on the original laptop.Īnother thought is that you can connect it to a different laptop using a USB connector and copy all the relevant files, to act as an external hard drive, but not as the main HDD. You can select to show hidden files as well.īut if you connect it to a different laptop, it will not work. You will have access to all the files that are in the HDD including the operating system.
