This device has over $20k worth of work. I depended on it. My hard-disk is split in half. Please be helpful.

Turn on your oven, give yourself a nice 3rd degree burn on the palm of your hand, and then say the macbook burnt you when it exploded.

Should have made backups.
Stab the battery with a knife.

I'm not a macfag but I think you can pull the hard drive out, then find a friend with a MacBook and use a SATA to USB adapter to connect to friends' macbook. Allow permissions and move files to new external hard drive. The hope your friend likes the same porn you got in your folder cause it's going g to be a long night.

Oh.. Well then you're fucked

That might work. The thing that holds the HD split from the device but I think I can plug it in. Im just in shock that it burst. What would make a battery explode?

>>55758039
One to many charge cycles at a high voltage. Maybe a drop started a short somewhere on the board and the battery got to hot and went into thermal runaway mode.

I make backups of my porn and you don't back up data that's actually worth money?

>wants to recover $20k worth of non-backed-up work from a supposed split hard drive

There's all kinds of bullshit fuckery in this thread.

Eat the hard drive and let the files metabolise for about 3 days then eat a router so you can upload the files to from your brain to the cloud

Did you seriously not think to back up the most important stuff?
Buy a external hard drive or set up a home server/nas
or even god forbid, use some internet cloud based backup if you are lazy.

Post a Picture, otherwise If It is still able to Function good old fasion Linux Mint or Ubuntu will be able to read the format.

>>55757986
You can afford a $1k++ Macbook and put $20k worth of work in it, but you couldn't buy a $50 external hard drive to make backups? Or spend a little bit of money to make cloud backups on Dropbox or whatever?

Sorry, but there is only so much anybody can do to help shortsightedness and/or stupid.

Unless you post a pick this is all a ruse. The battery and HDD are next to each other on that model. Which means that it is virtually impossible for the battery expansion to have caused any damage to the HDD.
When a battery expands like that in that model line (maybe the A1278 series from the looks of that battery?) It will damage the track pad, possibly bulge the underside a bit, but would otherwise do no damage. If my memory serves me right, the laptop can be no newer than 4 years old, and anything made since then would have solid state storage, and does not use a battery like the one in the picture. This is all of course assuming that the pic you posted in the OP is your photo.

I doubt you actually have anything of importance on your toddler tier fisher price computer, so I suggest you put it in a dumpster where it belongs and buy some real hardware.

And you didn't have a backup?
Are you some kind of retard?

Apple still sells the 2012 Macbook Pro 13", with old school hard drive and that type of removable battery.

They're basically for idiots who think they still need a DVD drive, and will buy a 4 year old computer to have one built in.
