I have a very old computer tower without the fat monitor. (which i through away years ago) I have some pictures on it that i would like to extract, but i don't know how to. And i lost the power cable to the tower. I would appreciate if you could help me. Thanks
If you don't mind a bit of dust you an open the case and extract the Hard drive (It is hard to get the case off some old computers) Once its out, you can take it to a computer repair/shop and get them to get the stuff off of it.
You should ad power cable or u can use usb cable.......
Get power cable so you can power up old computer. Borrow a monitor so you can see what you are after. Load onto flash drive if old computer has USB ports or onto a CD. Load onto laptop.
Any power cable from any computer or normal monitor will work. Boot the computer, copy the files to a flash drive or external hard drive, and then plug the new one back in and copy the files from the drive. If it's REALLY old (doesn't even have USB ports), then the easiest way may be to open the tower, remove the hard drive, and plug it in with an IDE to USB adapter (you can buy one online, or see if a computer shop has one). Make sure you find one with a power source.
