Hi,
What is the full model number of the laptop as shown on the information label on the bottom?
Easiest way is to remove the HDD and insert it into a caddy and then connect it to a desktop PC as a secondary drive.
There are links online that show how to connect a HDD from a dead laptop.
Is there a sequence to the Caps lock blinks? Check if there is a pause between the blinks e.g. 4 blinks - pause - 4 blinks - pause etc. This may be an error code which tells you what is wrong

Here's the maintenance and service guide for the laptop. Go to p.55 to view the necessary pre-requisite steps and then the procedure to remove the HDD.
Here's a link that explains what to do when you have the HDD
