Hi

Entirely my fault, managed to knock over a drink on to my laptop, it immediately powered off.
Took it to Tuk Com for repair, bought a 2nd hand Dell as a stop gap.

One week on, get told it cannot be repaired, both keyboard and motherboard kaput.

fair enough, it is old and although I liked it was due for replacement.

I have 3 things on there that are important to me though:

Approx 400-500 bookmarks.
Some photos downloaded on to it.
Some music videos downloaded on to it.

No back ups of anything, silly me.

These would be on the Hard Drive/memory ? which might be OK or recoverable I guess ?
Is my thinking that correct ?

If so roughly how long should it take to remove the Hard Drive/memory and either put on a replacement Hard drive or transfer to the replacement Dell ?

If feasible I`d likely get some technician to do that as it would be beyond me.

Many Thanks.
