Yeah like the other comments say, as long as it's not an issue with the drive itself you should be able to just remove the drive and read it pretty easily. If it's not a hard drive it's probably not the actual drive itself that failed, and even if it is a hard drive it's more likely to be something else imo. Taking it to a computer repair shop might still be a good idea if you're not comfortable doing it yourself, but it should be as easy as taking the drive out and plugging it into another computer via the right adapter.
