Hi,

What is the full model number of the laptop as shown on the information label on the bottom?

Easiest way is to remove the HDD and insert it into a caddy and then connect it to a desktop PC as a secondary drive.

There are links online that show how to connect a HDD from a dead laptop.

Is there a sequence to the Caps lock blinks? Check if there is a pause between the blinks e.g. 4 blinks - pause - 4 blinks - pause etc. This may be an error code which tells you what is wrong
