advice for getting data off a MacBook Pro with dead battery.
so about a year ago, my 2013 mbp retina's battery started inching towards its death. I ended up upgrading to a 2020 model. TL; DR version: is there a way to get access to the files on the ssd of the '13 mbp given that I can't get past a screen that has the battery with a tiny red line and the lightning bolt? I'd first prefer a way that doesn't involve me dismantling it. but at this point, im also not turning down any suggestions that do involve that. thanks in advance!
a little more details:
recently, I realized that I unfortunately didn't back everything up to iCloud. speaking specifically of my GarageBand folder.
once I realized it, I immediately went and grabbed my old mbp and plugged it in. given that it had been a while since I'd used it, I was encouraged by it at least the screen coming on and showing the battery with the small red line and the "lightning bolt" icon. but after an hour, when I press the power button, I just keep getting that same screen. I'm sure there's a bigger issue at play here like the circuitry or something, but I'm really hoping there's a (simple enough) solution.
when I search the internet, nothing seems to be helpful for my specific situation. I am not opposed to solutions that cost money, but I still am not trying to spend an obscene amount as honestly, once I (fingers crossed) get the files, I'm totally done with the old laptop. I truly appreciate any help/advice
