Question Where to find good computer techs? PC Club stores closed.

Hey all, I've got a laptop that won't power on, a Dell Inspiron 910 with a solid-state hard drive. I need some of the data from the hard drive ASAP, and was planning to take it to my local PC Club store but apparently the entire chain shut down last year. I don't have the equipment to connect the Dell's solid-state drive to my desktop or another laptop, I stopped tinkering with PC's a couple years before I bought my RX-7.


If anyone has suggestions, please PM or email or reply here.


Thanks,
-s-

Dude,

Nut up and pull the damn HD from your laptop. Order online or go to Frys and buy an IDE/SATA/SATAII or whatever the hell the interface is to USB adapter. Plug it up to another PC and extract your files.

Or,

You could contact Wacky and he'll slurp you up and the hard drive simultaneously.

Thanks, DJDINO, I'll look into that. It uses an odd connector, not SATA or IDE, from what I gather it is e-PCI or something like that.
