Question Recovering files from a 32 GB eMMC

[hartmde]

Recently had a laptop break and die. Was attempting to access it still to recover files when i realized it was utilizing a 32 GB eMMC instead of SSD. Is it possible to externally access the memory saved on a 32 GB eMMC chip without booting the system?

No it isn't.
That eMMC is part of the motherboard. It needs the actual system to work.

The results will depend on the hardware and your level of skill, but it should be possible, encryption notwithstanding.
