It was working perfectly fine until it just randomly became unresponsive and then eventually tried to reboot itself. I've tried restarting it multiple times and plugging it in to my computer but neither of those did anything. I don't care if it doesn't work anymore but I'd like to recover the files if possible, any ideas?

I couldn't take a good picture of it but I did take one:

Edit: As far as I can tell, I can't get it working nor can I recover the files on it. I'm not losing much, as there is nothing important on it but it's just weird that it was working perfectly fine and then stopped work almost immediately. But it's fine, it's over 10 years old at this point, I had a feeling something like this would happen.

Thanks for the info. It looks like user might have a shot at recovering the device but I don't see how they'd get data recovery from this position.
