Hi,
I’m a beginner here again, seeking advice from experts. To be clear, I have an old laptop and while using it, faced a keyboard problem—some keys stopped working except when pressed with Fn + that key, which then also failed. After cleaning and closing it, the screen won’t turn on.

I’m too lazy and busy to visit a repair shop. My dad has a spare laptop that I’ll use temporarily. I just need to know how to access my hard drive without opening it again and risking damage. Could you suggest a way using another laptop or copying data via phone, especially for games and software?

You need to access your previous laptop (which can't be done without opening it), detach the storage unit, place it on a desktop computer (or use a suitable USB adapter for your storage), transfer information from the old storage to another hard drive.
