My laptop stopped working a year ago. I took it's hard disk and bought a case so I could use it.
I stored a lot of useful stuff on it, and didn't use it for a month or two. I recently needed it so I plugged it in and the led on the case turned on but nothing happened.
There was no sound to indicate if it was connected, I checked online and there were issues where the hard disk wasn't recognized, but that isn't the case here.
Should I try a new case, or is there a possible easier solution. It was in a dusty area for a long time, and it might have fallen from a 1.5ft height.

It isn't the hard disk that I'm worried about. I just want to retrieve the data.

I'm only 16, I can't afford another one.
