It only takes a minute of your time to copy your important files to a drive or the cloud. I (potentially) lost one year of progress on a book I’m writing because of my negligence.

So please don’t be like me.

      No luck today finding a store that can repair it. Will see next week, but I pretty much lost hope and began writing all over again. fml.

        Not even repair it, as your computers probably completely totaled. They can however scrape as much data as they can from the memory and put it on an SSD for you if you’re lucky. Any average repair shop could do that for you, I would look for ones that offer a free consultation or inspection and get a second opinion just in case.

        Just do not expose your computer to heat or humidity.

        DO NOT TRY TO TURN YOUR COMPUTER ON AS WELL.

        Again it’s a long shot, but good luck.
