EGaD! This varies by manufacturer....
Cannot post can be a variety of things:
a) video card
b) lcd
c) power supply
Google the following:
1) (drive specifications) + "drive data recovery"
2) (Laptop maker) + (version) + cannot post
3) (drive specifications) + SATA (or whatever your desktop card/bus is)
Before you mess with it too much, you might have someone with a test bench &
experience look at her?
Also google for some extra parts or look at buying another one just like it off
CL/EBay?
It might be really cheap.

Subject: Rescuing laptop HD

Hello,
Thanks to a general hardware failure on my laptop, it refuses to even POST.
I know that the HDD on it is still valid, because the problem was a cascading
series of events (first LCD stopped working, then the wireless NIC, then the
ethernet and finally it wouldn't post)
I don't have another laptop to plug this drive (it says on the outside of the
drive uSATA ro something like that) into, and what I want to know, is what kind
of hardware do I need to plug it into a a standard SATA bay on my desktop so
that I can get out the data (which, oopsmybad, is not backed up)

Thanks and best regards,
Ryan Rix
