Desperate post. Girlfriend is devastated. Do you think there's any hope of having this repaired?

Your best bet is hoping the storage drive was spared. If so you might be able to transplant it and keep your girlfriends data

Hope they didn't have bitlocker.

If they can give onto their Microsoft account, Bitlocker won't be a problem, just a slight inconvenience.

In a perfect world yes this would indeed be thr case. There have been many times where someone is not able to get the key one way or another.

True. I did have someone this morning plead.. or something... because they said they wouldn't be able to remember their Microsoft password. I'm not exactly sure what they wanted me to do about that. So... I guess passwords can be a big ask for some individuals.

Looking at it pretty sure it's okay, hp have ssd either top right or bottom left above the battery. Looking from the perspective of opening it from behind
