HP Pavilion ZE4900 laptop dead but need pics on it

[snamo9905]

Hey everyone,
I have an old HP Pavilion laptop ZE4900 laptop I used in 2007-2008 that died back then and I have had it in my closet.There are some old pics on it I would like to get off it but have no clue how to get them.A few years ago I took the hard drive out and bought a hard drive convertor at best buy that was totally wrong so I just gave up again.Does anyone know what I can buy to connect the old hard drive to my current computer so I can recover the pics.I have put this off so many years and would love to get this done.

Thanks to everyone in advance
Sam

A few years ago I took the hard drive out and bought a hard drive convertor at best buy that was totally wrong

If the laptop isn't working then the only method is to connect the drive to another computer, so in what way did you last attempt go totally wrong?

Honestly I bought a hard drive convertor case to hook up to my computer from best buy and it didnt fir the hard drive at all(in size or connections) so im trying to find out which connector would work
