      sounds extremely fixable

      take it to a shop, they can perhaps repair it for not too much

      now is the perfect time to think about backups in the future in case your computer does get permahosed.

      borgbase.com will give you 10GB of free backup space which you can use with FLOSS Vorta application. 10GB doesn’t sound like much but it uses an extreme form of compression so it goes a long way. Use it for your documents and most special pictures/videos. Make sure you read carefully what is required to get back your data!
