Macbook Pro harddisk in external enclosure?

[DoItAgin]

Hello everyone,

I am sorry if this is answered before. I have tried to search, but I wasn't able to find anything.

My dear baby, a 3 year old macbook pro died last week (way to young). Fried logicboard. Apple wants 1.550 dollars to fix it, so I guess it is gone for good.

My question is, is it possible to take out the harddisk, put it in an external enclosure and plug it in to another mac to get the files?? If so, what enclosure should I buy?

It is a summer 2007 macbook pro.

Also, Has anyone been able to re-use other parts from a Macbook pro?

Thank you for a great forum.

Look for enclosures for 2.5" S-ATA HDDs, they start at 10 to 15 USD for USB ones. Example

You can also salvage the RAM and sell the display if you want.
