it does sound like a motherboard problem if not something that came loose. my recommendation is to remove the current harddrive and put it in someone elses computer. makes sure you set it up as the slave and not the master and make sure it's not set to boot -VERY IMPORTANT!! then use their computer to retrieve the file that you need and put it on a thumb drive. From there try and back everything you need up. Dont throw it out yet though. bring it to someone who can make a hands on diagnosis. a local tech guy should be able to help you back stuff up
