It appears my motherboard may be hosed. (Laptop won't power on, despite power cycling, battery swap, cable swap, etc.) Fortunately, it's still covered under Costco's concierge service.
The problem: I'll probably get the laptop back from the service center with the hard drive wiped, so I need to back up the data that's not already backed up. Suggestions for the best way to do that?
The only real idea I've had so far was to pull the SSD from the laptop, put it in an enclosure, and plug the enclosure into an old laptop, doing the transfer from there. But I only found one compatible enclosure at Amazon (here), and it's nearly $60, which seems like a rip-off.
Any ideas?
