When you say the screen has gone - same thing happened to mine years ago. Are you sure the computer is gone? Have you tried plugging a monitor into the back of it and then pressing the F key that switches between the laptop's monitor to an external monitor?
If that works, you can do what I did, namely I got a computer place to remove the screen, and just kept using the computer as a desktop, and added a wireless dongle or wireless PC card - since the wifi receiver is in the screen. It has worked fine ever since.
If your computer really has had a major failure in its innards, they do sell inexpensive kits on Ebay to let you get everything off your IDE or SATA hard drive. Though you need to make sure they are extensive enough.
So far I've had that Acer laptop fail on me, and an Acer netbook with very little use fail on me, not long after the warranty period expired. At the same time, I'm typing this on an 11 year old Toshiba laptop running Windows XP. Best avoid Acer, in my opinion.

Renato
