Re: hard drive help
This is just an example of one:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817182145

Basically, an external enclosure is a small case or enclosure. You put your laptop's hard drive inside and plug it in through a USB port on your desktop and you can easily access it. It's like turning you hard drive into an external hard drive.

Dead on. I could not have explained it better myself.

Have you tried powering on the laptop with just the battery, battery and ac adapter, or just the ac adapter and no battery? When you press the power on button, does anything happen? Lights/sounds?

If you want to be able to access your files/data, do what tosh9i recommended.

Now, as far as the no power on, It can be a bad DC jack (where charger plugs in to), a bad AC Adapter (brick charger), or worst case scenario, a bad motherboard.
