1419473 2016-04-22 03:20:00 Hi guys, does anyone know how to recover data from a laptop with a bung screen? I don't have the dreaded black screen, mine flickers a little on start up and I hear and see the windows logo pop briefly, after that it flickers a bit more but then the screen goes dark green. I think it is probably ready for me to log in but because I can't see the screen I can't click on anything or can't see where to type. I just want to recover some data from it, does anyone know how I could do this? Is there anyway I could plug another screen in to it? DakotaNZ (17161)

1419475 2016-04-22 03:43:00 Don't I need a special adapter or something to connect to the HDD to do that? It's an older computer too which probably isn't going to help. DakotaNZ (17161)
