Hi! This is a long shot but I had a laptop that’s mother board gave out a few years ago and I still have it. And i had a few things on there that were of sentimental value (photos/videos) I’m not sure if it’s possible to repair it enough just to get those things transferred to my current laptop? Last time I touched that laptop all I could do was charge it but it wouldn’t turn on :( any advice would be great thank you

I can't see what model laptop you have but if it has a conventional, removable hard drive you can remove it and plug it into another computer and find the files you need using a USB to SATA cable. What I used is an adapter similar to his:

This will not work as the MBPro 2015 Retina laptop utilizes a proprietary Apple PCIe blade style SSD.
The only option I'm aware of is the OWC Envoy Pro Enclosure. If the laptop is using a third party M.2 SSD with adapter, then a standard M.2 SSD USB adapter can be used.
