My laptop won't boot. I'm 99% sure it's an issue with the power supply.

Idk what to do

I'm freshly out of a job and I need a laptop to send job applications.

It was a 11 year old laptop with okay-ish specs (nvidia gtx, 12gb ram, 1tb hdd, 200gb ssd) 

Should I 
Try to get it fixed (probably 100€+ if not more) or:

Pay for data retrival (~50€) 
Buy a cheap laptop from ebay (100€-200€) just to have a laptop for my applications) 
Buy a decent laptop second hand (1000€ - 1500€) 
Buy a decent new laptop (1500€-2000€) 

Oh I also have a legal photoshop 6 version on there and I won't be able to reinstall if I don't disable rhe version on that laptop but idk if it is really worth it for a 15 year old version (it was the last one qithout the subscripton model tho).

One of my older ones took almost 2 hours to boot up and behave without freeze every 30 second.

They need to build huge centers because AI eats memory and they need lots of computers to store everything. Gaming Consoles will skyrocket in price to.
And lets not forget all the water they need to cool down the servers that are working overtime.

The battery has been shot for 2 years so I only used it with the cable so I doubt this will work.

I know your pain, what would a new battery cost?

Original 120€, cheap illegal copy ~40€ but tbh I think the cable is damaged so a new battery wouldn't do much good.

Yeah the cables are the ones that breaks first.
Is it easy to get a new cable?

I would have to order it but I'm not sure if it's the end of the cable or the socket in the laptop that's broken.

Maybe I could order a cable and send ot back if it doesn't work?
