Will this break it?

oh carp. how can i get the data off this? its all my work for the last 3 years. backup, reformat, pick up the wrong damn plug, this is desperate

i presume so its not mine. replacing it is no problem which of course i will now do but the data is the issue. would it work plugging into a computer even if it's been overpowered by 19v?

so it will work then? the power switch on the front won't even allow me to turn it off anymore
