Old Toshiba burned the motherboard. Can I recover data to my new Toshiba laptop?
if the hard drive pcb look ok you can pick up a usb to ide/sata kit on new egg. comes with all the cables and a power brick to plug a int drive into a usb port.
You can get an external USB enclosure for the HDD in the Toshiba. Install the drive into the enclosure and plug it into a usb port and pull any files you need off the drive.
