    I removed the SSD from my VPCZ1190X (or Z119FX?) since the laptop won't turn on. I'd like to attach it to another computer via USB so I can copy the files (then erase them, then have the computer fixed?). What hardware should I use to do this?

    Here's the 25-pin, 7/16 inch wide, ZIF (zero insertion force) connector on the SSD, https://photos.app.goo.gl/6397GtnFc6BCrhx27 .

    Here's the 60-pin (combined into 44), 1 inch wide, ZIF cable that connects to the motherboard, https://photos.app.goo.gl/bddbmptXxkd1evs26 .

    The 25-pin cable that connects to the SSD expands to a 60-pin cable to connect to the motherboard, as you can see from this photo of inside the computer, https://photos.app.goo.gl/kGUeT2qQfsULtcem6 .
