It depends on the type of damage from the no longer functioning laptop.
It's broken.
There is only one way to retrieve lost pictures on a laptop. The only way to get back lost pictures is if you have a backup file.
Go and get it back
It is possible although you will have to find the savegame file and copy onto the new computer/laptop.
It depends on which can kind of memory. The hard drive most likely is fine. The RAM have had more chances to burn but you can try it (you will have to install it in a working laptop and run full test).
So the laptop doesn't overheat.
You concentrate on what you have to do and do it.
If the computer has failed but the hard drive still works, try putting the hard drive into another working computer.
